Sorry if this sounds incompetent, but: what do you mean by "persistence"? Does the system crash often?

In general i noticed that Xubuntu 17.x did a lot better than 18. I have XUbuntu installed on my laptop and the suspend-to-RAM worked flawlessly before. Now every second time i have to either use the power button because the session won't come back or it comes back but with deactivated Wifi which can't be reactivated. Suspend-to-disk (aka "hibernate") worked before but doesn't work at all now. Whenever i shutdown the system i get an error message from systemd (this thing i hate with a passion - what was wrong with init?) that it can't stop this job or that job (usually my user sessions). A job running with root privileges should be able to kill user processes IMHO - not wait for indefinite time (well, i think it is indefinite - after 10 minutes at longest my patience was used up and i pressed the power switch).
So, yes, Xubuntu 18 (the "LTS" - i suppose this is a typo for "TLS" and means "tough luck, sonny") is a major PITA. I am considering switching over to Fedora, but i hate desktops in general and GNOME and KDE in particular even more. Xfce is the "least insufferable" IMHO.
I hope this helps. (Sorry, i know, commiserating helps you not one bit but i feel better now. Thanks.)
