These are GNOME tweaks, not specific only for Ubuntu, but any Linux OS with the GNOME desktop. And, of course, KDE has these same options for those which use KDE.

Just helping to clarify. Ubuntu isn't the only game in town.

This is the worst article ever.
1. No security, no login will make any OS faster Windows, Mac, and Linux.
2. True shortcuts make things faster even my grandma knows about shortcuts try bookmarks too.
3. It would be faster to keep the window you are working with on top. Extra bonus tip if you want a faster internet connection your neighbor has an unsecured wifi sure it is illegal and puts your computer at risk but you don't have security anyways.

Is this Kindergarten computing

Next article: If it is a well known web site it is safe if it is not be careful.
