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.

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.

What do you like best about Kubuntu?

Kubuntu boasts the famous KDE PLasma interface that is much like the Windows 10 interface with a taskbar at the bottom, menu button bottom left but it's so much more. KDE Plasma is famous for being the most configurable interface available today. It's slick and smooth, highly functional and easy to get used to. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Kubuntu?

The latest Kubuntu 19.10 did not get released with the latest version of KDE Plasma 17.1 but that is easily remedied by adding the Kubuntu backports repository. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Kubuntu:

If you want the most logical, easy to use interface in the Linux world, go for Kubuntu. It's hands down the easiest Linux to use even for beginners. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Kubuntu is very flexible and with a couple of tweaks, it's quite possibly the fastest you could make any computer bar none. The trouble is it takes some investigating and research to get a system to that kind of cutting edge performance. Stock Kubuntu is extraordinary and with some tweaks, it's even better.
