Originally posted by justmy2cents View PostDE has no impact on performance, only WM does. running metacity with gnome on top or xfce produces same result. though, enlightenment with 3d enabled, compositor disabled fares even better. not much, but it is fastest as far i tested. though, any other choice of those 2 settings makes enlightenment not even as good as gnome on mutter

For anyone with intel hardware that want the "suspend desktop effects for fullscreen windows" there is a workaround;
There is a kwin script in kde examples that completely *disable* compositing as soon as it detects a fullscreen window.
...being compositing completely disabled, and not just the window unredirected, you'll have no flickering in fullscreen too.
i've made a zip to easy install it:
Code:wget http://wpage.unina.it/aorefice/sharevari/nocompositingfs.zip -O /tmp/nocompositingfs.zip && plasmapkg -t kwinscript -i /tmp/nocompositingfs.zip

Originally posted by Yorgos View Postif someone wants to see how thinks work , he or she should pick a distro that deals with every DE equally and not having one specially treated and just forward the others from debian's repository(there I said it)
if the unbiased results are not enough to convince someone, then at least he or she must consider using the most popular one(based on user's installation) which is mint.
at least I hope that the misleading titles should change to ubuntu *something* benchmark ...
(for me, the closest thing to linux benchmarking, is using arch or gentoo or atleast some 1st level distros that build packages from the source and they are not forking them from someone else)
moreover distro-trends and complexity show that distros and DEs are more and more chaining themselves (eg. Fedora->Gnome+Wayland; Ubuntu->Unity+MIR; Mint->Cinnamon; KDE juggling between Kubuntu, OpenSuse and Chakra) so benchmarking the "main-line products" have more sense that the derivatives to me
(as a long time distrohopper I like and use 1st level distros Arch, Gentoo, etc... but benchmarking them will lead to blaming Micheal to use different settings in compiling Kernel, X, Mesa... no please)Last edited by rossocrama; 25 June 2014, 11:35 AM.

Originally posted by Vash63 View PostI already knew that KDE was slow, kinda disappointed that this isn't faster than KDE4 but they still have a few months before the first release to fix it up. Why isn't GNOME in this comparison? Mutter has always felt like the fastest cross-distro composited environment to me. Unity doesn't port well to Arch or Fedora or any distros I run so I haven't used it in a long time.

Originally posted by rossocrama View Postagreeing with Micheal way to test the final distro-environment "as it is" I hope to see soon this comparison:
Ubuntu Unity vs Fedora Gnome vs Chakra KDE vs Mint Cinnamon
(so then we could complain after the distro releasers - not Micheal)
