hi, just a general consideration: from my experience every distro will
have something that's not working right out of the box. But rather than
trashing the distro and trying another one on the first problem, you'll
be much better off (in terms of time) to choose a distro with a good
community, and ask on forums or mailing lists advice for the specific
problems you encounter. I know it does seem overwhelming when you've
got many things to track down but you can make a list, and one by one
solve the problems (and by so doing learn how all the system/apps work)
- I just think you'll be up faster than if you just "try" another
distro.

For the distro to choose, personally I wouldn't know... I use Archlinux
but that probably requires a bit too much setup for your purposes...
I'd probably suggest an ubuntu-derivative, only because that's what
most people use and it will probably be easier to find help for your
problems. 

Ah, also, I guess KXstudio uses KDE? If that's the case, I'm not
surprised to hear it's slow, as it's *the* most bloated DE...
Personally all I use is openbox,pcmanfm, tint2 and conky - I have all
the essential GUI features and it's way faster than any DE.
