In February I switched to Mint after frustrations with Windows, Mint was nice but it always felt very rough around the edges from a UI perspective. I felt it was missing many bells and whistles.
I was looking to try a good KDE Linux and went for the latest Kubuntu and I love it.
The look and feel is so clean.
It’s not without issues, I had to fight driver issues for a good while and my laptop speakers still don’t work but my headset and speakers etc. immediately worked.
KDE is fantastic. It’s such a polished and full-featured DE. I could see why some people prefer something simpler or different like a tiling WM but for me KDE feels comfortably familiar while having everything I need.
Which distro do you use KDE on? I’m on OpenSUSE, it’s quite nice
I use NixOS. It has some sharp edges but the advantages are worth it to me. I’ve never had better working Linux machines.
