What do you like best about Kubuntu?

When connecting any new device via USB or PCI card Kubuntu automatically detects and installs any device, there is no need to install additional drivers.

Searching for programs from the desktop is the best, I can find what I need from the PC from the desktop of the PC.

This system is based on Ubuntu, a very stable system for programs and daily use in the company or home. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Kubuntu?

I have problems with WiFi network card models in laptop, installing drivers is difficult for some Wi-Fi cards, I would like an automatic driver search engine with graphical interface.

Installing the latest Microsoft Office gives errors when I use it, unexpected closures, saving a file is difficult, slow PC. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Kubuntu:

I recommend Kubuntu for the KDE desktop, it is light and simple to use, if you know how to use the Windows 7 desktop, Kubuntu will be easy for all your work with hundreds of free programs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Kubuntu solving and how is that benefiting you?

I use Kubuntu in my work, it is easy to use with a lightweight KDE desktop similar to Windows, it is user friendly and has a program and file search engine.

The LibreOffice programs and Ubuntu derivatives work perfectly in Kubuntu. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Kubuntu?

I love this system, it is very light and ease to use, it allows me to use it on computers with low performance and yet it does not slow down. The number of functions it has to configure it to your liking make it a mut robust system. It is easy to integrate with other applications that I manage. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Kubuntu?

The only negative of the system is that when I have any failure or problem in starting an application and I want to look for the solution in the forums and internet there are not many places where I can have direct advice for such problems, and it is difficult to contact customer support to get a solution. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Kubuntu solving and how is that benefiting you?

I had a problem, I had to work from home and the PC that I usually used broke. At the time I was searching on the Internet and I found this system that could work on old computers that do not have many requirements. And so I installed it and due to the lightness of its system and the amount of consumption when using it, it allowed me to continue performing my tasks without problem.
