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.

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.

What do you like best about Kubuntu?

Kubuntu is a Linux Open Source Operating System, where you can do anything.

It has a very comfortable desktop, easy use and application search in its search bar, its graphic environment in general is beautiful and adaptable to any user dedicated to users accustomed to the Windows desktop, when installing Kubuntu for the first time you will feel comfortable because of its ease and its very similar desk.

Kubuntu is derived from the most famous and easy-to-use Linux Operating System that is Ubuntu, it always has major updates, bug fixes, important programs, constant updates, and virus-free.

Kubuntu is designed for PC of somewhat low resources and dedicated to users who want an easy-to-use desktop, you can work on it as in another Linux distribution to be Open Source. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Kubuntu?

Ubuntu being the main system, Kubuntu sometimes has incompatibility with some programs, generating errors and frustrations in the user, they have to give more importance to this distribution. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Kubuntu?

The performance of Kubuntu OS is quite amazing and provides a feeling that you are using something similar to the Microsoft Windows OS. Stability has been a major concern in Linux systems and Kubuntu delivers it. Also it is a free and open source thing! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Kubuntu?

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.
