I run three Linux Distros, whenever the fancy takes me. Usually I only run one on top of my Mac OS Installation. Of the three, I prefer two: Ubuntu 13.04 and the latest Elementary install. Both are now insufferably slow; Ubuntu in particular has been getting progressively slower since 12.04 despite fresh installs and upping the RAM and core numbers available to it (4GB and 2 cores from an 8GB and 4 core machine). It's really bad Is there an improvement on the horizon or should I just install Ubuntu as a BootCamp option? If possible I'd prefer to stick with a virtual machine as it allows me to switch between systems easily. Rich::
The very latest version. As I said, Ubuntu 13.04 has become a speed nightmare. I pretty much cannot use it in Parallels anymore. Rich::
Deepin 12.12, currently vying for top notch in my pyramid of cool Linux distros, is killingly slow. It seems that as Linux distros evolve, they slow down! Rich::
With Paralleles 9, elementary OS is just unusable It's a pity because it integrates well in the Mac OS Desktop environment and it is Ubuntu/Debian based.
