I have tried using the 64bit 3.2 version on 2 different PCś & 2 different graphics cards on 1 pc (a Nvidia & Radeon) & its harsh & slow to get anything to load or use & thats if it does end up loading anything , & its still the same on every desktop I login to wether its Gnome or shell . It gets to the stage where Once you click on something it then freezes except the mouse can still work but wont open anything or open menu when right clicking or takes a long time to open an app until it seems to become toatally useless. I have tried different drivers including the Nvidia driver,vesa etc.
I decided to try & install the distro & was able to after a bit of toiling to see if worked better but was the same.
¨Now for the amazing part ! ,I decided to try logging in as root to see if there was a difference & then found it seemed to work normally & then I decided to see if I could login as a normal user if I installed a lighter desktop like Fluxbox & found it worked. But if I try & login to any of the desktops it came preloaded with as a user that it is hopeless.
Any Idea why I can use the desktops only by Root & can only use a user to login if its a light desktop like fluxbox. I also should note that I decided to try KDE & found its the same & I have tried addiing different users.
I tried reburning as well & I thought I saw it say that it was a good .iso somewhere during bootup but not sure if thats what it meant.
In other words you cannot use the main desktops as a normal user\ although I did one time get kde working for awhile but not since.
I meant to add that I tried turning off Desktop effects at startup in KDE from systemsettings but still the same
