  1. Try using LXDE. It is lighter than Unity (the default DE) and will speed up your computer.

    For 12.04 and later versions, you'll need to do this through a terminal.

    Open up a terminal (Super, then type Terminal into the dash), then run the following:

    sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install lubuntu-desktop

    Or install via the Software Center:

    Install via the software center

    You will get asked to enter your password, and you will also be asked to choose between LightDM and LXDM - I suggest using LightDM.

    Once that is done, log out, and then select Lubuntu as your desktop session:
