What do you like best about Kubuntu?

The whole desktop and look and feel. Not problem with my working environment (I'm a Java programmer, in my current we use Cassandra and docker), never had an issue so far. It's not hard to install I get my laptop replaced.

My company works with all Microsoft software (in local machines and cloud), they even suggested us to migrate to Windows and use Windows Subsystem for Linux, but all the Linux users complained and they couldn't do it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Kubuntu?

No much to dislike. Only that with 18.10 (also with Ubuntu, so it's an issue with the kernel, something changed there), the apps in the docker containers can't see the local dnsmasq, so the containers can't connect Cassandra, and I have to start a dockerized Cassandra. I know there is a work around, but it wasn't straight forward. Before this laptop, I had Kubuntu 18.04 and no issue of this type. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Kubuntu:

In my experience, I never had issues with Kubuntu, I find it's UI fancy, cool and friendly. Easy to find things. Never in 5 years I had an issue with my development environment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

For me Linux was always better for Java environment, more stable than Windows. When I first started with Java, I used Ubuntu, until they left gnome 2 in favor of Unity, I didn't like Unity nor gnome 3. So I started using Kubuntu. I also feel more comfortable and safe surfing the net with a Linux based OS.

But I also use it in personal computer (dual boot with Windows 8), and my own laptop. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Kubuntu?

I have used Kubuntu for several years and really enjoy its environment. In Kubuntu, you experience a rich GUI along with all benefits of open source community and specially Ubuntu's. While you enjoy getting around with a wonderful graphical interface, you have all benifits of the linux. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Kubuntu?

Some bugs in copying and moving larg number of files which may causes loss of data. It actually rises from the caches on the disk memory, when you think everything is done and the task of moving of the larg amount of files to another drive is finished, it still copying the files on the background which you may are not aware of so you must be very careful.

Just try it once and you would be in love with Kubuntu. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Mostly the problem I have experinced, as already stated, is with its GUI in moving larg amount of files.

A very big advantage of Kubuntu, however is its unique graphical and userfriendly experience which it give you. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I think there are many more features which can be integrated with Kubuntu OS still. Also more applications should be made available for Kubuntu as it seems still lacking on that part. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
