(Original )Information
What do you like best about Kubuntu?

Ease of use, geared toward Linux and non-Linux users, light the ability to have light and dark themes. It is the best way to introduce anyone into a Unix/Linux environment. Gui is friendly to look at and use. I would recommend it to anyone. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Kubuntu?

I would like to have a bit more user-friendly integration to allow non-Linux users to have the ability to use and relay in a Unix-based environment and all of the security that this entails. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

As with any Unix/Linux backend, the command line is king, and the included tools allow for the testing of networks for various hostnames, domains, and other servers. Also, able to test some different server configurations using Kubuntu to see if Unix implementation is available for multiple applications. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

A very little community to help each other, some of the plug and play devices drivers were not available. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

At our company's R&D level we always needed more resources to fulfill our programming needs which were very easily done by low consumption of kubuntu Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Kubuntu?

The most important thing about Kubuntu is that it's lightweight and easy to use, just like the windows operating system. And also its supports all the open-source software right out of the box like LibreOffice, and it also has its proprietary email service called the Kmail. Since it's designed in the KDE environment, it's much faster than Ubuntu. Best for developing cross-compiled applications and firmware for most of the prototyping boards like Raspberry Pi and STM32. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Kubuntu?

There is not much to dislike from Kubuntu. There is very few lightweight OS in the market that solve the purpose. Some of my projects require Embedded Systems development, and there are few OS explicitly designed for that, and I must say Kubuntu also meets some of those requirements. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Kubuntu:

Kubuntu is the best fit for all the new people to Linux Environment but wants to have that Windows OS feel. It also helps all the system software engineers who want to write device drivers for their embedded applications. It also features one of the best document viewing and editing tools, like Okular. I would recommend Kubuntu for the electronic design engineers who want to port their current designs to Linux-based systems. You can also install your favourite media apps along side your work apps. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I am pursuing a career in embedded software development. This job involves developing complex software, especially firmware, that will be running in most of the electronic appliances that we use, such as washing machines and also Cars. Firmware here will be device drivers that need to coding in languages such as C and C++. And most of these devices run Linux, and some appliances also use Android because it's also based on Linux.

So Kubuntu has been beneficial since it provides all the tools such as the G++ compiler and has the best debugger pre-installed for the development. Also, it comes pre-installed with Okular, which is the best document viewer for viewing PDF files. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
