Hi, I'm a linux advocat and member of the local linux user group. Therefore people coming to me with their linux problems. A friend of mine had some minor problems but we decided to do fresh install of the latest LTS of Linux Mint because he was using Linux Mint 17.1 Rebecca which is only supported until April 2019.
I was using his laptop for a while and was suprised that it was running pretty fast. Anyway wanted to install the latest Mint for security reasons.
We installed Linux Mint 19.1. The update after the installation took about an hour. /shawn-mendes-handwritten-revisited-download.html. After that it was painful slow. It sometime even freezes.
I decided to give Xubuntu 18.04 a try. It had the same problem that updates just took ages.
I gave Solus a try as it has another package manager. Updates were fast and overall behaviour was faster but when he had several tabs open in Firefox the laptop choosed to become super slow and die.
I reinstalled Linux Mint 17.1 Rebecca just to have a look if it was really that much faster. And it is. I can have Libre Office, Gimp, Firefox and Brase opened. Firefox has several demanding tabs but it works like charm.
No my question. What is the reason for Mint 17.1 being much faster than 3 newer distrost? It the kernel? Is it the Spectre/Meltdown Patches who are slowing the machine down? What would you suggest to do with the laptop?
UPDATE 1: Thank you for all your answers! I'll give firmware updates a try and wil install several distros side by side to compare them. I'll also give some benchmarking a try. I'll report later his day hopefully.
UPDATE 2: I managed to do a BIOS update using a FreeDOS usb stick. After that I tried Debian with XFCE and Manjaro with XFCE as everything with is based on Ubuntu 18.04 is running very slow. Sometimes even the installation did not run until the end. While Debian was very fast I immideately had problems that I did not want to tackle (package dependencies could not be resolved, no WIFI, no smooth way to install NVIDIA). Therefore I gave Manjaro a shoot and I am VERY pleased with it. Fast installation. Very user friendly interfaces. It is quite snappy. Not as much as Debian was but balancing ease of us for my friends whose laptop this is vs the extra speediness I choose Manjaro. The rolling release model makes it even easier to maintain. At last I'll give MX Linux a try. Thank you again for all the specific suggestions to solve my problem and explain thing to me!

I installed a fresh copy of Ubuntu 14.04.2 to a new hard drive in a Dell Latitude E6400. Unfortunately I cannot figure out how to get the wireless working. I know the hardware works because my other hard drive is Windows and everything works great there. I am trying to learn Ubuntu and not really sure where to go. I opened a terminal and ran lspci and the wireless card is a Broadcom BCM4312. Any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated.

If you have internet access through wired ethernet, run these commands:
If you don't have internet access, then download the following on another computer and copy it to your E6400 in the home folder (/home/your_username/):
- b43-fwcutter 32-bit package or 64-bit package depending on your OS.
- b43-firmware broadcom-wl-5.100.138.tar.bz2.
