Need help...

I used to have Ubuntu installed, but honestly, I never used it. It just took up HDD space. I also had XP installed too, but I never really used that anymore either.
I tried KDE4 out a while back though, and I found the entire effects to be glitchy, and it's not like my video card couldn't handle it (it was a 8800GTS 512 mb). Compiz-Fusion worked great under Ubuntu, so I just came to the conclusion that the effects in KDE4 were poorly written.
So, have the fixed the effects? I remember the minimizing/maximizing effect being extremely buggy. I probably won't install Linux again until I get a new computer and make my current one a Linux box, but that won't be until around 2011, after I had graduated from college.

Earlier versions of KDE4 gave my HD4870 grief. But try the new KDE it is much better

The new versions of KDE, especially those coming with the new Kubuntu 9.10 (Karmic Koala) are by far better. The KDE developers got into a lot of trouble when they released KDE 4.0 as it was very buggy. KDE 4.3 is included by default with Kubuntu 9.10 and is STELLAR!! I FAR prefer it to Ubuntu/Compiz and is far easier to setup and manage.
