I was comparing the specs of the Chromebox M004U to the Chromebook C720 and it seems that they are using almost the same hardware. I have a C720 I gave to my mom after setting it up to dual boot to either Chrubuntu or ChromeOS, and I noticed that booting into Chrubuntu took pretty long.
So my question is, should I expect to see the same performance if I choose a similar route? How much slower is XBMC running on Ubuntu rather than OpenElec? (Main usage of XBMC would be for streaming...and I need Ubuntu for poppytime)
Sorry for all the questions, and thank you for taking the time to respond!
(Chr)Ubuntu boots in a reasonable amount of time (~10-12s) as long as it's using an up-to-date kernel. The kernel which shipped with 14.04 was missing a lot of optimizations for the Haswell platform.
XBMC performance is basically identical across the various Linux platforms
Yup, that totally explains it haha. I was running 14.04 without updating the kernel and it took over a minute to boot...Thanks
