PC - Need Help With Compiz - View Post

If KDE is to slow, you could try XFCE. (sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop) and for future releases use the Xubuntu version. XFCE is much simpler than Gnome or KDE so it's faster. You could also try KDE 3 instead of 4 (also lower requirements) but it won't be much faster and it's barely supported by any new programs so I wouldn't recommend it.

i am okay with ubuntu (gnome) its fast even with compiz on  i am about to do a clean install now.

the only slow app was firefox but i am using swiftfox now.

kde 4 it's like windows 7, not as slow, but some things  require more cpu than ubuntu, way more, needed at least a dual core cpu.

us Prescott based single core oldies, can't take, even with a decent gpu.
