What do you like best about Kubuntu?

Kubuntu (LTS) is my chosen Linux distro for heavy, productivity use. It's official and maintained by Ubuntu developers. The best thing about this is faster than usual Ubuntu because of the difference in GUI. The "K" stands for Plasma KDE, the GUI used. It is lightweight and highly customizable than Ubuntu's GNOME. Kubuntu can be a perfect choice for those who want to use Ubuntu but with a different user interface type. This distribution provides a good KDE experience with the solid core of Ubuntu at the center of the system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Kubuntu?

The customization of KDE is little bit difficult for those who come from other GUI's. The highly customizing options can take time to get familiar with. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I use it for development. It's less resource-hungry and provides customization. I could develop programs easily on a low-end computer. It's more productive Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Kubuntu?

Kubuntu has many flagship features, and the best part is it's all for free. The OS is massively customizable, giving you the ability to blend it per your needs. The installation is smooth and consistent.

Performance is great. The CPU usage is lean, which means more resources available to do the heavy lifting for other valuable applications.

It doesn’t require additional training. It's the same as Ubuntu, and any users from Linux and Mac can easily switch without any issues. It's the best open-source with the highest level of security compared to other Linux Distros. Speed and UI/UX are next level and make the user experience unique.

When training end-users on this software, many of their knowledge from Windows is transferable to Kubuntu due to the easy-to-use GUI. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Kubuntu?

Trackpad driver installations were complex and had some issues. Some problems with WIFI network card models in laptops. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Kubuntu:

It's an excellent platform for anyone who wants to explore things and learn the granularity of things. It provides you with options with enough customizations and gives us much control over things. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I use Kubuntu on my day to day basis. It is super easy to use and lightweight. I use it a lot for programming, application development, and a bunch of scripting.

It gives me a lot of freedom to customize and gives me complete control over application development as mentioned earlier, it's lightweight and doesn’t consume a lot of CPU for unnecessary bookkeeping. It means a lot more resources available for a lot more computational power.

In web development, I use it to run and test the applications locally. Its super great and easy to do web development on Ubuntu without any additional dependencies. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Kubuntu?

Besides giving you the safety of unix environment, kubuntu gives you and easy and fast interface to use. This is different from regular ubuntu, because of the KDE environment, it puts everything right where it should be, menus are easy to access and you can use it even at work or home, for enterprise or regular user usage, really good. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Kubuntu?

We wish we could see windows or mac compatibility. I mean, it's not that it's bad, but you will always miss everyone doing software for it. This is not a kubuntu itself fault, it's more from the devs side, to the linux platforms. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Kubuntu:

You are going safe with ubuntu, this is a very pleasant linux distro to use, so just enjoy the time while you are with it. They give you the free trial for you to check it and you will make sure this is what you really need Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Kubuntu?

Kubuntu it's one of my favorites "lightweight" Linux dependencies, working on it you will find many tools that I want to describe here: Kontact it's a mail application where you will find easy integration with Google calendar, RSS Feed, or an intuitive to-do list. Provides a finder where quickly you can have access to all your information stored like your documents or photos. USB flash drives, SD's, or your phone can be connected. Or you can open and read books, documents easily with the document viewer. Surfing on the internet? Yes of course! you got pre-built Mozilla Firefox Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Kubuntu?

Kubuntu it's only supported for 64-bits architectures. If you got an old computer and you are looking to give them a second chance. Isn't supported. Should be great to have support for 32-bits computers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Kubuntu:

I can recommend this operative system for people that are switching from windows or mac os and there are looking for Linux dependencies this one it's one of the most recommended by myself. The system requirements required from the last version it's: 2 GHz dual-core processor, 4 GiB RAM (system memory), 25 GB of hard-drive space (or USB stick, memory card, or external drive but see LiveCD for an alternative approach), VGA capable of 1024x768 screen resolution, Either a CD/DVD drive or a USB port for the installer media, Internet access is helpful. This information it's coming from the official page. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Well, this is my default operative system where I can take my integration tools like Zoom, Slack, VS Code, and my favorite one! the Terminal. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
