Ubuntu Saucy final Beta is largely unusable ..... it takes nearly 5 (yes five) minutes for the dash to launch so you can even open an app not located in the launcher. It takes about 2 minutes even to open an app such as "files" in the launcher. Makes me wonder what the minimum specs are going to be .............. maybe a gazillion GHz CPU with a graphics board the size of the space station
Ubuntu GNOME final Beta is pretty good. I've encountered few problems using it out-of-box
Lubuntu final Beta is experiencing a lot of kernel freezes
You need to create ~/.xprofile with the line in it
Code:
export UNITY_LOW_GFX_MODE=1
This will switch off some of the power-hungry effects. I have unity running nicely on an Atom
