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.
Nah Kubuntu is fine. Look up the reasons people don’t like cononical to see if you personally care (I do but I’m weird) but sincerly kubuntu is chill.
If you’re new I can’t fully reccomend endeavor. Well made, great distro, but built for people who are ok with managing their system manually. If that’s your vibe though great choice. Want something that looks like Kubuntu, is easier to manage, not cononical, with a rolling release model? OpenSuse tumbleweed with KDE plasma is chill.
Still though nothing wrong with sticking to Kubuntu.
now switching to Gentoo on the other hand will make you 2x hotterThanks solid advice.
I do care about why people don’t like cononical, but it’s a marathon not a sprint.
Every step in the right direction is a win.
I really want to find a nice distro that just works and that I can eventually switch friends and family onto.
It might not be the MOST ethical or best distro, but it’s better than Microsoft and to me that’s enough.
