writing this post via kubuntu

And I'm installing Ubuntu over it as soon as the iso is done downloading.

I was switching things around in my machine and added a SATA hard drive. I had a live cd of Kubuntu and in general like the KDE4 look-and-feel a lot more. It's polished, whereas I feel like Gnome is kind of clunky. This is of course just a personal opinion.

That said, I feel like Kubuntu is much slower. And I feel it's especially so when using firefox. At this point in the age of computing, that's not acceptable. The web browser is a primary interface and sitting around waiting for clicks to register isn't feasible.

So, Ubuntu goes on and if that sucks too it means I accidentally replaced a SATA cable with a carrier pigeon or something.

UPDATE:

Yes, Ubuntu seems like it's a lot faster than Kubuntu. Is this known? Is there any reason? I'm disappointed.
