As a computational biologist, I've been struggling with performance issues on Ubuntu for months, which have made it difficult to work efficiently. Despite Ubuntu's popularity in academia, R runs much slower on Ubuntu than on my personal computer running Arch. This has forced me to do my work at home, where I have better performance. It's disappointing that Ubuntu's limitations are often assumed to be universal to Linux in academia, which can be a problem for those who require a more efficient system. I've tried troubleshooting the issue, but haven't found a solution yet, but just chock it up to Ubuntu just being more and more terrible
