dahil medyo complicated magrun ng PS sa linux, I would not recommend na magpalit ka ng mabilis na OS..

assuming naka windows machine ka:

Use Firefox, _NEVER_ Google Chrome
Alisin mo lahat ng effects ng OS mo, google mo lang "make windows faster" madami dyan tips
lakihan mo page file (google ulit!)
ioff mo lahat nung autorun apps na di mo kelangan(google!)
alisin mo din lahat ng browser extension na di kailangan saka screen widgets, as much as possible wag mo ipollute desktop

from what i read onboard gpu lang siya and medyo mababa ang processor niya...  you could always run defrag to make files easier to access... clean reformat is also good but not recommended unless you have all the drivers with you...

oops cant edit my post.. dagdag ko na lang din:

ANTI VIRUS NA UPDATED! wala ako naging problema with Avira free ever since (or maybe dahil aware ako sa risky sites/links)

ADBLOCKER! (iwas virus!)

Hardware naman - Ive read na best keep charge at 60% BELOW kung lagi nakasaksak laptop mo, ito yung best level kung matagal na hindi gagamitin yung battery, kung walang option to stop charging at 60%, alisin mo na lang batt then keep it connected sa outlet.

reformat is always the very last option haha..

gawa ka partition bro at ihiwalay mo yung mga data mo at OS mo.
ilagay mo dun sa bagong partition ng harddisk yung mga data mo at device drivers
pag nagawa mo na yung pede ka na mag re-install ng windows.

kung may system image naman yang laptop mo at may system recovery ang Acer
try mo rin pero syemre backup mo muna lahat ng data mo sa external harddisk (USB)

scan mo rin baka may virus/trojan/adware ka na - bitdefender free antivirus at malwarebytes

defrag mo lagi hard disk mo at least once a week
eto gamit ko pang linis ng pc ko > Advance System Care

theres not much you can do with the hardware you have. kahit pa anong tweak gawin mo, you will still be limited on what the hardware can do

in this case, mahihirapan talaga yan when you run intesive programs like photoshop and other programs at the same time, its not designed for such use. kung gusto mag improve konte ang performance, when you run photoshop, close all other programs (including security programs), that will improve performance for photoshop

wala kasi dedicated video card ang laptop na yan so yung RAM niyan (4GB I assume) hindi mo magagamit ang buo for photoshop since about 1GB or so will be used by onboard graphics.
