TUTORIAL - Get Higher FPS with Unity

[FinalSlam]

If you really want a performance boost even higher, installing kde will allow your games to run even better. This is not just my opinion, but it's the results from phoronix benchmarks. In their benchmarks, running without the effects, unity was still a great deal slower than the rest. Great video though, very good for those who don't like kde or xfce.

I did not like KDE at all, in my opinion. I just do not like the way it looks, but again, my opinion. I think my favorite DE has to be Unity. It is so clean and stable under 12.04 and 12.10.

Going on another topic, I wish Canonical wouldn't make you install SDL by yourself. How about make it pre-installed on the DVD, or help new users who are starting linux how to install SDL.

Personally, I've loved using MATE since Mint introduced it. The 1.4 version is nice & stable, it looks and acts just like GNOME 2.x, and it's not a resource hog like Unity.

MATE does look like Gnome 2.x, and I have a weird feeling. Am I the only person on this site that does not like Cinnamon?

I would edit the original post to include the steps. And I just tried this, and WOW. It works wonders. Thank you.

lol, I think I tried a crappy version of cinnamon when I hated it. I'm using Cinnamon right now. It is the best DE for me.
