I installed Fedora 20 and gave it a test drive. Whilst I was happy it seemed to run well, the graphics driver appeared to be flaky. Under Ubuntu Studio, I was getting a fps fullscreen using glxgears of around 60-65fps. Under Fedora, I was getting ~45 fps. I then tried Linux Mint Debian Edition, and that also had the same problem. So now, I’m back on Ubuntu Studio. But I might be vanilla Debian a go as well and see if that helps…

You know glxgears isn’t a measure of performance. The latest version, which is in Fedora, locks the fps to the monitor refresh rate so it won’t change no matter how fast your graphics card is.

That might also explain why Linux Mint Debian Edition (which is based on Debian Testing) was also sluggish in the same manner. I made a backup of the Fedora install, so I can always tinker with it some more.
