U don’t have to install anything… just go here and copy paste URL.

i got quite frustrated with kde4 and it’s bugs/memory overeating/crashing… so, i’ve decided to switch to lightweight xfce and optimize desktop machine a bit…

first, i did some tweaking as said here, then i managed startup programs with rcconf, improved my graphics as described here and finally found decent applications which helped me to forget about kde4 🙂

used before -> using now
kate -> geany
amarok -> exaile
firefox -> google chrome
kontact -> evolution
ktorrent -> transmission
konsole -> terminal
kwallet -> revelation
kopete -> empathy
krdc -> terminal server client

btw. if U think that xfce is ugly, make sure U visit xfce-look and deviantart – U will be amazed!

debian/ubuntu users that own nvidia graphics can dramatically boost their performance by editing /etc/X11/xorg.conf
just copy paste following in sections “Module” and “Device”

Section “Module”
Load           “dbe”
Load           “extmod”
Load           “type1”
Load           “freetype”
Load           “dri”
Load           “glx”
EndSection

Section “Device”
Option         “AllowGLXWithComposite” “true”
Option         “TripleBuffer” “true”
Option         “BackingStore” “True”
Option         “UseEvents” “False”
Option         “DamageEvents” “True”
Option         “AddARGBGLXVisuals” “True”
Option         “RenderAccel” “True”
Option         “XAANoOffscreenPixmaps”
EndSection

save and restart X server. U can see results by minimizing and maximizing windows, switching desktops + using compiz extra effects (those effects which slowed your computer so far).
