Actually I find my Windows 7 faster than my OpenSUSE (KDE). Gnome is slow whore and I don't like XFCE. Maybe GNOME 2 form MATE (running it on my tablet with Tegra2 processor), but it's a hassle to setup.

All these unreliable and slow desktop operating systems.

nuUbuntu is good. If you old laptop worked on Windows it can work on any recent linux distribution ;D
So why not taking the v12?

I think there's a plugin for that.
