This is Windows 10. I’ve tried Ubuntu and Arch on the same computer, and they were both faster.

thanks! it’s a Corsair deskmat

I’m in the same spot. Ended up just buying a cheap SSD and dual booting with windows 10. It’s definitely not as convenient as it could be, but it works perfectly.

I’ve had trouble logging in on liftoff, it doesn’t recognize any of the instances I have accounts on.
