Long-time Windows 7/10 user, I have been using SparkyLinux - http://SparkyLinux.org based on Debian Testing / "sid" for quite some time now.. a very pleasant experience I might add.. I have the 4.9.13 kernel-LXDE with Openbox Desktop..
Just for the fun of it, decided to download Kernel 4.10.3 [Stable] from Kernel.org and remix it to my existing kernel, which I found on this excellent article on how to self-compile linux kernels:
http://www.linux.org/threads/the-linux- ... ling.5208/
using:
Code: Select all
zcat /proc/config.gz > .config && make && make modules && make install && make modules_install
Code: Select all
sudo update-initramfs -u;sudo update-grub;
I guess a little help from you guyz could sort this out for me..
PS. Guys taking wild guesses trying to help out, please excuse..
EDIT:
[SOLVED] -- adding noatime to root ext4 partition in /etc/fstab probably did the trick...
