Kubuntu – linux for this human being

Typing this as, well, I type I can tell you I am a Kubuntu user.  Over the past few weeks, I have been trying to get it just the way I want it.  Was I successful?  Well as somebody who has used just Windows all his life, it wasn’t easy – but it is now done.

Firefox is installed, Pidgin is up and running, so I now know I can at least do my day-to-day work done on here.

What is the Most Frustrating Thing About Kubuntu?

Well for me, my cries are pretty anal.  I don’t like that windows do not remember their locations when you close and reopen them.  Instead they just rotate corners they launch from.  I guess this will take some getting used to.

What do I like the most about Kubuntu?

The biggest positive is hard to put my finger on.  I like the basic look and feel of it, even more so than I liked Ubuntu.  Ubuntu just never felt right to me when using it, but Kubuntu does the trick.  Guess that makes me a fan of KDE over Gnome?  Hope that is right, getting the “lingo” down is another challenge for another post.

Feel like trying a new OS?  So if you have looked the other way with Linux distros in the past, give Kubuntu a shot.

    Hmmm, never did understand how you say Kubuntu. Is it K-ubuntu or Koobunnntoo?
  • You might enjoy these then, as it's all 'buntu in the end. ;)

    (Some may need some GNOME libraries installed, but the installer ought to be able to take care of it for ya, KDE or otherwise. ;)
