Let me explain a little more. The KDE team has done a phenomenal job in preparing Plasma 6. In addition, Plasma development has now become more intensive. Yes, in each branch, bug fixes are made up to version 6.X.5. Unfortunately, this has a downside: there are quite a few bugs in versions .0, .1. These are the ones that users of distributions who receive continuous updates have to deal with. Fortunately, the Plasma development schedule coincides with the release of new versions of Kubuntu. So this distribution already includes versions 6.X.5. Tried and tested. Currently, 24.10 is version 6.1.5. And although this is not the latest version of Plasma, it works without any bugs. It is also worth noting that the Kubuntu developers provide an optimized version of the shell. You will not see Akonadi services here. The solid Debian/Ubuntu base adds to the pleasure of using Kubuntu. And of course, when talking about Ubuntu-based distributions, you can't ignore the topic of snap programs. I must say that they work very well and you shouldn't miss them. Don't believe the horror stories about snap that are circulating on the Internet. The only thing I would note about snap is the fact that snap programs don't support accent colors. That's why I gave it a 9 instead of a 10. But overall, I highly recommend this distribution. Friendly Computing is its slogan. And it's completely true. Was this review helpful?

Also love all the features and customizations that it offers. Also Kubuntu uses less snap packages which is nice. I also have 3 monitors and they also are supported much better in Kubuntu. I like that the screenshot tool has some very nifty tools built in that you can use to annotate screenshots. And it can even be used to record videos. This should be the default *buntu edition.

I must say that it is light and easy to use with my computer, without overheating or slowing down. Only the choice of wallpaper (which can be changed with 2 mouse clicks) is open to criticism. Plasma 5 guarantees the stability I am looking for the next 3 years. On first start-up, I only had to give a 'snap refresh' to get a quick update of all containerised applications. For the first time, I can judge Kubuntu as 'excellent'. Was this review helpful? Yes No See all 110 reader reviews of Kubuntu...
