Is Unity 2D still slow.. I'm fed up with my prized Fedora.
Last time I ran Unity 2D on this netbook (11.04 stock no updates) it was rather sluggish.

I'm reluctant too, this thread has alot of people suggesting Ubuntu so I'm just asking.

Unity 2D and 3D suffer from the same speed problem: They both fail under more than average workloads.
and the main slowness comes from the complete UI failure in terms of window management.
As a KDE user I'm probably a bit biased though...

How is KDE? I heard 4 was bad compared to 3.5, the last version I played around with.

Linus Torvalds says it sucks too
It's great. 4.0 was a bit buggy (first release and all that) but KDE 4.7 and higher is perfect and without hassle.
People freak out when the first install it because of the initial high memory. The indexing daemon takes a lot of resources to go through all the files in order to make search quicker. but it goes down to zero once it's done.
If you sit down and remove all the bling it's perfect.
I can't recommend it enough.
Hmm I might try out Ubuntu with KDE then, not sure how well KDE will be on a 1024x600 display but its worth a try I guess.
I feel like such a noob because i don't know what you are talking about :v:

KDE is one of the many desktop environments for linux. A lot of people say that it took a bad turn when it reached version 4.0 (I don't have an opinion as I had starting looking at linux at that time).
I use FVWM, which isn't really recommended unless you literally want to configure nearly everything your desktop does.
