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.)

ORAGE(1)																  ORAGE(1)

NAME
orage - Calendar for the Xfce Desktop Environment SYNOPSIS
orage [options] [[FILE]...] DESCRIPTION
orage is a fast and easy to use graphical calendar for the Xfce Desktop Environment. It uses portable ical format and includes common calendar features like repeating appointments and multiple alarming possibilities. orage does not have group calendar features, but can only be used for single user. orage takes a list of FILEs for ical files that should be imported. Contents of those files are read and converted into orage, but those files are left untouched. For a more detailed explanation of orage, please see the Help menu. OPTIONS
-v, --version Print version information and exit. -?, --help Print brief help and exit. -p, ----preferences Open the preferences setting window. -t, --toggle Hide orage if it is visible and show it if it is hidden. -a, ----add-foreign file [RW] Add a foreign file into orage. By default this file is read-only but adding RW after the filename makes it writeable. -r, ----remove-foreign file Remove foreign file from orage. The file itself is not removed or modified. If you want to remove it, you need to do that separately using proper operating system command. FILES
All orage datafiles are by default in ~/.local/share/orage and all configuration files are in ~/.config/orage. (Note that you can change these locations, so if you do not find them, check from the UI.) BUGS
Please report any bugs and enhancement requests to http://bugzilla.xfce.org/. Usage related questions can be sent to xfce@xfce.org email list. HOMEPAGE
