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.
You could’ve just installed KDE on top of mint? Ain’t that the freedom of linux?
I’ve heard this is quite a mess to maintain.
Ideally I want to find the best out of the box solution so that I can switch friends and family over to when I feel they and the software are ready
Woah, woah, woah… Are you trying to dissuade distro hopping?
Yup. I use KDE on Debian. Works great.
Yep, Mint with KDE is how I roll
