You're still top-posting. Please don't do that. It annoys a lot of
people on mailing lists including this one.

I doubt the problem you're seeing is related to Ubuntu specifically.
It's more likely a configuration problem e.g. with the X drivers, or
perhaps you're using Compiz and your video hardware isn't up to it. Or
maybe you have a slow machine with only a small amount of RAM.

You may have luck with Fedora, not because of the system but because the
default X setup happens to be different. If not, you'll still need to
tweak it.
