The best thing in Kubuntu is that it's an official flavour of Ubuntu. Since the desktop environment is KDE, which is a lightweight environment. It gives a seamless experience even on a legacy machine with ram as low as 2gb. For better experience I would recommend to extend your ram upto 4gb. Additionally, it supports all the applications supported on Ubuntu. If you're new to Linux, this OS is definitely a good choice to start with because of it's user friendly ui and good community support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
There is no such thing that I dislike in any of the Ubuntu distro, be it lubuntu or kubuntu or ubuntu mate. The UI and looks are slightly minimal in kubuntu and lubuntu than mate. Everything else is more or less the same. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Kubuntu is a flavor version of Ubuntu. It provides a plasma desktop environment in its default distribution. The GNOME and graphics of Kubuntu are awesome. It is far better than Ubuntu. The best future of Kubuntu is card swapping ability, which is very useful for the NVIDIA server. There are other versions of Ubuntu, but as per my opinion, Kubuntu is best for all.

Overall, Kubuntu is best for techie or non-techie geek. But I found some negative points of its. Software packages of Kubuntu sometimes not respond very well with applications running in background. Apart from this, I am not able to find any other issue in Kubuntu. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Kubuntu is too good if you dont have one of those high end computers ( 32 GB RAM and TBs of storage). As it is built on core ubuntu, all the benifits of ubuntu(which are huge) are applicable. It's very easy to use, developer friendly, fast and what not. In addition to those this flavour is specially light weight that makes it even better for the low end pcs. In addition since it comes with it's own KDE, there are plenty options available for customization purpose that brings a new feel towards the user experience.

It's not attractive for those having decent/good configuration, although it's not much of an disadvantage as those are not the target audience any way. Since it missed the GNOME it is not for the hardcore developer who don't want all the customization but super performance while developing there codes and run. If I will have to chose I'll chose Ubuntu for my primary device, due to the great performance by Ubuntu. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The distribution is stable, the repository is Ubuntu-based. That means while downloading dependencies it should be easier than other distributions such as Pacman. It's one of the most beautiful distributions, and also is continuously being updated to new security improvements, bug fixes-improvements, and new things. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Although I like its design, I think it can be improved (user experience), its stability can be improved, I've had some unexpected reboots or sometimes from doing nothing it appears system problem detected and is very annoying. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Kubuntu is a great open-source product that serves as an alternative to other user-friendly operating systems like Windows and macOS. It is one of the best Linux implementations focusing on user-friendliness and customizability. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Although it has almost anything needed in terms of applications out of the box, it still lacks compatibility with some 3rd party software. I wouldn't completely switch to Kubuntu from one of the most popular operating systems. I've also noticed some stability issues that are not so pronounced with the Ubuntu distro.

It was every configuration option under the sun. You can make it look like anything you want, from simple and clean interfaces to busy and full of system information. There are tons of tutorials and a few sophisticated tools that make theming easier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It has some issues with new hardware. Zoom/Goole Meet screen sharing might display artifacts and blinking, which isn't fun to the other people (the user can't see it, only the others).
Some options aren't compatible together, so you need to experiment a lot. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
At that time, I have tested with few opensource projects. it's working fine. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
issue is currently have many vulnerability issues, so need proper update mechanism for all the products. that's why people need to move commercial versions thus free products. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It is an OS that is free, open-source, and functional. Is mobile-ready, which integration between PC and phone or tablet almost seamless Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Some applications that are included in the OS do not easily integrate or transfer with mainstream OS document types and some document types are not supported Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Kubuntu is easy to use, highly customizable due to KDE as its default desktop environment and user-friendly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Not much dislike. Since it is ubuntu-based, it is not a rolling distro like Arch Linux and you have to wait each year for major releases. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
