Nepomuk and plasma-desktop are driving me crazy on my home machine. They randomly steal 100% of one of my CPUs and make my fan work overtime. As a result, I've switched to Xfce. There's a bit of a learning curve, but it's not Unity and it's really snappy. I'm thinking of making the switch at school, too.
I have decided *not* to upgrade to 13.04. It's only supported through January of next year, so you're basically committing to upgrading at the new year, whereas 12.04 is a Long-Term Support version, so you'll get package updates for quite a while. When I started using Ubuntu at school, I upgraded every six months. Now I upgrade every other summer or so, when new LTS versions come out. I probably don't have to say this in this crowd, but it's really helpful to put your /home directory in a separate partition from everything else. That way you can upgrade your OS without ever touching the partition that your data is on. At school, I use a naming system that is first initial, up to seven letters of last name, last two years of expected graduation. I can usually remember which grade students are in, and it's easy to clean out the graduates over the summer.
