A real window manager now appears! Where did you find out about this trick? A complete transformation in performance in KDE. There is simply no comparison, it is now a usable machine! Needless to say, thanks very much!
So all your derogatory remarks about KDE/Linux were just that you had a configuration setting that your equipment couldn't handle. As I said KDE makes use of an incredible amount of eye-candy/glitz/bling. Go to systemsettings -> desktop effect. That first screen lets you turn it off on startup by default and you can explore all the possibly eye candy settings, the openGL settings, the type of compositing, and more. There is a LOT there! Some of it will make demands on the underlying hardware and device driver that may not be possible. I mentioned problems I was having with late model nvidia. His performance openGL with the nvidia driver, but drag-and-drop problems. Low performance but working d-n-d with the open source driver. But the latter can't do much eye candy. As to the 'where did you find it' question. Its in the documentation. http://opensuse-guide.org/kde.php IIR it goes back a long way, to the origins of KDE4 http://fosswire.com/post/2009/01/quickly-disable-desktop-effects/ https://forums.opensuse.org/showthread.php/436323-KDE-4-3-Proprietary-ATI-dr...
