I used to have Ubuntu installed, but honestly, I never used it. It just took up HDD space. I also had XP installed too, but I never really used that anymore either.
I tried KDE4 out a while back though, and I found the entire effects to be glitchy, and it's not like my video card couldn't handle it (it was a 8800GTS 512 mb). Compiz-Fusion worked great under Ubuntu, so I just came to the conclusion that the effects in KDE4 were poorly written.
So, have the fixed the effects? I remember the minimizing/maximizing effect being extremely buggy. I probably won't install Linux again until I get a new computer and make my current one a Linux box, but that won't be until around 2011, after I had graduated from college.

    Not sure exactly what your asking. KDE4 has slowly been improving since it's release but I've never found it to be as useful or friendly as Ubuntu. Also the newest version of Ubuntu is almost out. It's got the usual slew of updates and fixes. If you prefer KDE over Gnome the Kubuntu package is also being update with most of the latest enhancements.

    As for your KDE4 problems, it depends on the version you were running. 4.0 was generally considered to be a beta release. 4.1+ is supposed to be quite stable and pretty responsive. The 9.10 release of Ubuntu is, from what I've heard, supposed to be a huge step forward. Lots of fixes, lots of solid new stuff, epic boot time, etc.
