I recently purchased a 2nd pbpro as a gift and need some help with issues that I have been patient with my own device. The gift in question was to replace a lackluster institution issued piece of hardware. This hardware needs to be able to be able to have zoom meetings and surf the web (chromebook-ish). I tested zoom in a web browser with the pbpro and it worked better than what was offered (so far so good), but the web browsing is a bit slower and therefore a problem (to them). I have noticed lag in application launch as well on my own device with launch of ..everything. Terminal, web browser (all of them) email and chat applications... all basic stuff. Before this second person with a pbpro I would have just considered these problems due to working from an sdcard instead of emmc. I have proven that this is not the case through testing both my machine and theirs.
That was all background, here is the foreground question: what can be doneto make the pbpro more "snappy" for a non saavy user (the gift recipient mainly but myself aslo). Ive tried manjaro in a few DE flavors and chromium from ayufan but haven't ventured too much further. I do not have gentoo skill and ubuntu (on x86) is too "easy" for the recipient of my gift pbpro (currently manjaro kde and manjaro budgie on sdcard) . Suggestions are appreciated and welcome
For myself, I have an sdcard that has my os tweaked how I like (minus the performance debuff) and I would like to move it to my emmc rather than reinstalling and reconfiguration. Is there an option to move an existing install from an sd to emmc? When I search the forums I get nothing but horror stories and no sure path to success. TIA
