First of all, you should start with 12.04 because it doesn't require a re-install every 6 months. 13.10 is nice if you want beta-like cutting edge features, but the *.10 releases can sometimes end up unstable, which doesn't reflect well on Linux.
I'll try that

Next, on your speed, make sure your install is x64 and that your video drivers are up to date. If you have an nVidia video card, that might cause trouble. If you have an ATI (AMD) card, then getting the correct driver can be a bit difficult yet rewarding.
The problem is, I've got an "Dual Graphics" AMD system with two ati gpu's. I installed the newest drivers manually from the amd.com page but that doesn't worked either. I guess it's because of the two cards. I also tried to switch from the integrated gpu to the discrete gpu via the amdconfig tool but it doesn't seems to work.

Send me a message if you want, and I'll help as I can. On the flip side, you could also try Linux Mint 15 with Cinnamon like jjmafiae. I like Ubuntu though, especially with Gnome.
Thanks for your offer.
I prefer Ubuntu with a vanilla GNOME 3 desktop manager installed. I don't get why Canonical started using this Unity nonsense.

Getting "Dual Graphics" to work may require disabling IOMMU and discrete GPU in your system's BIOS.
IOMMU helps increase the performance of virtual machines when enabled. You can't just disable the discrete GPU in the regular system settings to my understanding.
