I'm just starting to play around with Linux. A couple of days ago, I
installed Ubuntu on my Inspiron 7500. When I switch from one
application to another by clicking (say) on a Firefox window when Help
is in the foreground, it takes many seconds before the newly selected
application is available and the screen properly refreshed. I'm
planning on installing Fedora. Is it likely to be any faster?
You're still top-posting. Please don't do that. It annoys a lot of
people on mailing lists including this one.
I doubt the problem you're seeing is related to Ubuntu specifically.
It's more likely a configuration problem e.g. with the X drivers, or
perhaps you're using Compiz and your video hardware isn't up to it. Or
maybe you have a slow machine with only a small amount of RAM.
You may have luck with Fedora, not because of the system but because the
default X setup happens to be different. If not, you'll still need to
tweak it.
