What do you like best about Kubuntu?

Kubuntu has many features I like, the main one being it's free & massively customisable. The installation is smooth and consistent, as with many versions of linux the resource usage is extremely lean and isn't hungry for CPU use, which means those resources can be better used on different processes.

When training end-users on this software, a lot of their knowledge from Windows is transferable to Kubuntu due to the easy to use GUI.

A lot of your knowledge from Ubuntu can be transferred over to Kubuntu, It's basically the same but cleaner.

I love the fact Kubuntu is open source & defines the highest level of security as compared to other Linux Distro's. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Kubuntu?

Installing - Partitions has no labels, quite confusing when trying to get 10x machines imaged at the same time remotely. After installations I have noticed a bug with the Wireless Configuration, during the installation wizard the wireless configuration will not remain preserved.

Although I'm a big Linux fan, I feel Kubuntu has moved away from the Linux feel for ease of access and made it more like Windows, this comes at an advantage for training users, but a disadvantage for my personal opinion.

Limited Functionality due to Limited Applications

Problems with Software & Hardware compatibility Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Kubuntu:

Download the ISO, stick it on a USB and live-boot, have a play around with it and trust me you will love it!

The installation is straight forward and easy to use. This software is massively backed by the community, It is very stable and you can almost guarantee If someone has had a problem before, it will be on the community pages of Kubuntu for you to find a solution. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Massively reduced the infrastructures budget due to licensing. It takes half the time to install than Windows so this massively increases workflow and productivity. The customisation is very beneficial so we can have our distributions the way we like them & not have to worry about some Windows 10 Update setting it all back.

Kubuntu's shell also has Python 3 installed as default, which massively plays a part in my Python learning. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
