m millike, thank you for reporting this and helping make Ubuntu better.
As per http://us.acer.com/ac/en/US/content/drivers an update to your
computer's buggy and outdated BIOS is available (1.26). If you update to
this following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BIOSUpdate does it
change anything?

If it doesn't, could you please both specify what happened, and provide the output of the following terminal command:
sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date

For more on BIOS updates and linux, please see
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs#Bug_reporting_etiquette
.

Please note your current BIOS is already in the Bug Description, so
posting this on the old BIOS would not be helpful. As well, you don't
have to create a new bug report.

Once the BIOS is updated, and the information above is provided, then
please mark this report Status New.

Thank you for your understanding.

Title:
  choppy visual, slow, glitchy

Status in xorg package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Since download of new version of Ubuntu (14.04) in the last week or
  so, computer is painfully slow, will not display properly, delays
  commands (i.e. click on something and it can take up to 30 seconds to
  load), video doesn't stream, applications glitchy and type loads
  slowly. Mouse won't traverse extended desktop.

  Only 17.5 GB of 129 GB hard drive in use, and only a few peripherals.
  It's like the RAM is all used up with something.

  System testing crashed.

  Even just moving some files around, with no applications open, it
  crashed claiming no memory to diagnose and send error report for
  program called "compiz" (or something like that).

  Opened terminal to try to revert to Lucid as per instructions, but
  won't recognize password.\

  Any way I can 'system restore' to the previous version?
