Thread: 64 bit vs. 32 bit Ubuntu 12.10 Compiz stability question

-

i've been on ubuntu quite awhile now. since shift unity less happy , feel of new unity/ubuntu desktop, have stuck , grew used in spite of few stability issues, due nvidia drivers, suppose.

when new 12.10 came out went clean install of 64-bit system (as do). stability's gotten worse, compiz keeps crashing , while using oracle's virtualbox run instance of windows (yes, bloody need windows extent, off ) or thunderbird mail client, rather nice window selection feature clicking on active sidebar icon 2nd time keeps locking up, currently, after doing yet fresh install, in process of installing 1 or 2 alternative desktops have proven more stable. rather unfortunate unity kind of grew on me (like sort of persistent rash).

wondering, seem 1 of many facing these problems, have of noticed less problems 32 bit version or more of same? worth going 32-bit, gain more stability it?

for of may wondering (or possibly suffering same problems), installed 32 bit ubuntu 12.10. graphics drivers issues seem same i've seen far. opting proprietary nvidia driver in software sources menu brings low resolution desktop without unity interface , after ctrl+alt+f2 screen turns black without prompt showing up. if find in situation find easiest way deal bring terminal ctrl+t.
