Hi everyone, I'm wanting to set up a new computer very soon, combining windows 8 with Ubuntu. My focus is to use the machine primarily as a music (midi) computer and a gaming system. On the linux side I would primarily be using it for data rescue (utilizing ddrescue), but also want to be able to enable Compiz and style the heck out of the gui.
Ultimately, I'm wondering what build of Ubuntu I should install to maximize my compatability with Compiz...as I'm hearing it hasn't been updated to support newer builds...is this true?
Also, should I be going Nvidia or ATI with the card for the best results, I'm considering either an ATI 7870 card (gigabyte most likely), or the nvidia rough equivalent...
Thanks for any tips/guides/advice.
