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 great but do give some “better” distros like Fedora, or EndeavourOS (basically Arch) a try. Canonical, the company in control of Ubuntu, is a little bit shady.
Thanks I’ll give them a try, EndeavoursOS is next on my list.
I know it’s dumb but I just really don’t like the name Fedora so I’ve strayed away so far 😅 Names matter
I’d recommend CachyOS over EndeavourOS
I would personally suggest looking into CachyOS or Manjaro.
Oh yeah, KDE Plasma is where it’s at. I love the DE. Glad you found something that works for you!
Kububtu was also rough around the edges even until 22.04 LTS, but 24.04 LTS finally delivered a stable, far more customizable desktop than regular Ubuntu.
I’m eager to try 26.04 LTS next year.
Glad you like it!
