Ubuntu 18.04.1 really slow on very good laptop
I just installed Ubuntu 18.04.1 in my new laptop, alongside Windows 10, and is extremely slow. My specs as reported by Ubuntu:
What I've done so far:
Used
sudo ubuntu-drivers autoinstall
Set processor to performance mode using
sudo cpupower frequency-set -g performance
At this point is better but still very bad, with Chromium with 3 tabs open and doing a search for "Screenshot" the computer just freezes for 3 seconds at least.
Is there anything that I forgot to do when installing Ubuntu? I've made the same setup on various computers and it was always pretty straightforward, this never happened to me, the system is just unusable for anything.
Edit: This is so slow that a VirtualBox VM is faster. Therefore I've been using the VM instead of the natively installed Ubuntu
graphics performance gnome-shell

There have been occurrences of relatively low "TDP" (package power limit) i7 chips going into power throttling mode, if enabled. The way to check is to use the turbotstat program (part of the linux tools common package) in non-quite mode. The big spew of information when it starts will have 1 line or 2 about package power limits and if they have been tripped (I think, I never tripped mine) and if they are enabled or disabled. Runsudo turbostat --Summary --show Busy%,Bzy_MHz,PkgTmp,PkgWatt --interval 15for about 3 minutes and post the output.

@heynnema I think it's not browser related since I get the same problem with any programs in Ubuntu

@DougSmythies There you go! pastebin.com/Gys81AHB I'm kind of a Ubuntu newbie so I don't know many of the things that are there to be honest.
