#Kubuntu #Linux #Ubuntu
Tried a lot of DEs when I was switching to Linux. KDE is what finally worked. Its strength - extreme customizability - is also its weakness because most new users can break their plasma shell, but once you get over that hump, nothing like it. I run KDE no matter what distro I am on. If I change, it'll be for a Window Manager.
i just switched to it after many years of fighting my windows 10 and i like it, the look is familiar and support plentiful. I don't think i will replace it anytime soon
Is it faster
I love Kubuntu 21.04, it's vanilla, pretty, quick and slick. It's a perfect fit for me and I've been using it for ages. It's a joy using this distribution 👍🏽 Thank you for the review 🙏🏽
You are using Kubuntu 21.04 for ages? ;)
@@starfox-germany he he
i think what he means is like he has been using previous versions of kubuntu
I just finished hopping to Fedora 34 KDE and Jay drops this lolz. Kubuntu 21.04 is the more stable of the two according to my hardware. 👍
fedora's software manager is buggy. sometimes it cant even check for updates properly
I tried running Fedora 34 on a 2011 model Macbook Pro and never could get wifi working. Switching to Kubuntu now!
I like kubuntu very much, and have been using it since over a year! Very good and stable!👍
You don't know how much I've learned from your videos. Thank you!
I know next to nothing about Linux, but I just installed Kubuntu on my old Mac and I love it so far. Only problem is my camera stopped working. I guess that’s my next project.
Still not released for upgrade via do-release-upgrade 😒
Kudos for real hardware usage, unlike many other "reviewers" do.
So it is as classic as it gets... and it's also by far the most stable desktop distro I have ever used. I have installed it on (very) different computers/laptops of all ages, and haven't had any issue at all. So for me, it's now the go-to distro. It's easy as Mint but even more solid in my opinion, and with better repos :)
I am now at this stage where I can fix about any problem on a Linux system (nothing to celebrate since I have used Linux since 1998) , but at the same time, have no patience anymore for wasting my time on unnecessary troubleshooting. And I did bump quite a bit into unnecessary troubleshooting in a number of "rock-solid" systems, during my last distro-hopping session.
I had multiple stability problem with ubuntu/gnome desktop and recently migrated to Kubuntu.. It's very stable/customizable. I mostly work with python/rust/vim/tmux/zsh-powerlevel10k/chrome browser/calibre(pdf,epub) and I approve this.
i think the only distro customizes kde is manjaro. I like really kde. I have it installed on my desktop and 2 laptops. All kde but arch
I just changed from windows 11 to kubuntu and loving the de tried so many de this works well with nvidia and my creative Audigy
Nicely reviewed! I'm a Mint user and this seems like a good alternative... Saying that, I don't see myself jumping ship. Thanks 👍
Really wish Linux Mint hadn't let go of KDE.
@@surjagain I really don't know too much about KDE to understand the difference between this and Cinnamon etc...
I'm surprised that the GNOME DE is not as customizable as KDE. I thought that Linux was suppose to be all about customization?
Since I have a Windows background, once MS dropped Win 7, I had to switch to something familiar and KDE seemed to be the best. So, I used Kubuntu.
They should probably ship KolourPaint with Kubuntu which is like MS Paint.
They should ship Onboard, which is like the virtual keyboard of Windows.
I wish the system monitor offered more options.
Other DE seem to have a very limited system monitor.
The other thing is that they need to get rid of the dog food. mibibyte and kikibytes. Just write KB, MB, GB, TB.
I've tried Kubuntu, but desktop was constantly crashing after installation :/
u need to install the proper drivers and change the kernel if it still crashes
I have this on my early 2009 MacBook
I prefer plasma and use mint. if mint goes crazy or treat us bad kubuntu or pop os will be my next options. kub for the plasma or pop os for the tiling.
Since the GNOME Ubuntu 22.04 is kinda of heavy on my ressources and actually glitchy here and there, I am really thinking about KDE 🙏
Installed Kubuntu to try it out and I like how it looks and runs. One of the things I really like about it is it doesn't seem to have the same challenges discovering and sharing files with my Windows PC's that other distros seem to have. It finds my Windows PCs and my other Linux PCs easily. The only problem I've run into that I can't seem to figure out is that I can't install any apps on it. Either thru terminal or the resident discover software manager. I've tried to find out why but I have yet to find an answer. And there are lots of people with the same complaint.
It's the calamaris installer most of Distros use it for installation.
I'm actually using kubuntu 21.04 and is a rock solid workhorse
Switched to Kubuntu after 15 years of gnome Ubuntu. KDE is so much better for a PC. Installation was a breeze, everything works out of the box, only made a few tweaks to window buttons, and that's it. The default KDE apps are so much better than the gnome apps I used. I find the gnome Ubuntu is ideal for my TV instead as I don't want a PC experience on a TV, so the dumbed-down interface of gnome works well.
personally i prefer Gnome obviously but i like KDE too its really easy to use UI light on ram/cpu but a lot of options and customizations option i felt lost in KdeNeon and by the way it's really good distro that's flys on my system just smoothness
Kubuntu works great on my old laptop
A Very Good, Straight-Forward and Descriptive Review Indeed. Many Thanks.
Grean even on mac hardware for example on macbook pro mid 2010 runs everything out of the box steam inclusive native gaming in Linux it will take around 3 days till you configured to your needs like installing a slimbook power management for laptops seens to be missing but most of the apps are there
That bug with the Firefox "Make default" seems to be present in nearly every distribution that I've installed recently. I've seen it in Ubuntu 21.04, Fedora 34 and 33, and Pop!_OS 20.10. Also, you should review Xubuntu sometime!
Are there any customizations that the kubuntu team puts in the distro for packaging ?
hi good day as of now i.m using ubuntu on my minipc beelink but unfortunately the built-in wifi is not detected even I install ubuntu with lan cable for internet. If I will try Kubuntu it is possible to solve my wifi problem? thanks
Are you going to do reviews of all the Ubuntu 21.04 flavors, or just a few, select ones?
you are showing features of plasma but that's not same thing as showing features of kubuntu . I can have plasma on mint for example
I'm looking over Kubuntu 5.21.90 (with Plasma 5.22) testing now in a Vbox to see if there's much new.
Looks great! Bog standard Plasma, always been good, always will be.
I'm using Pop OS, and I like it, but I wish they would make a KDE or Deepin spin. I'd really love to see how a PDE or a PopIn would look : )
PS: I downloaded that Cool Retro Term, and it is very nice!
You can always install KDE, popos with KDE is amazing.
I've ran Mint, Parrot, Gardura and now Kubuntu....and I love it! Mint seems to get laggy due to updating something by accident. Parrot home was running smooth for a year, and then after update i can't transfer picture from my phone...just keeps loading. Also I have a Steam account and play some games like Star Dew Valley. So I'm just tweaking and installing steam now....I really hope I can dump my phone with ease on Kubuntu. I think it should be fine. 8 also like a lock folders. I'm not computer wiz but I understand the basics of Linux and learn when I can. I just like the feeling of being less vulnerable to attacks I guess.
Anyway, great video thx and yes I subscribed! :) oh I also chose Kubuntu because I laptop is about 6 or 7 years old. Sony Vaio core i5, 8gb ram....Kubuntu should be fine right?
The Firefox Default button is also present on new install of Ubuntu - I think it's a Firefox behavior until it has at least run once.
i tried alot disros with kde,atlast ended up with kubuntu,its rock solid
Can you please tell me a command how to open terminal in kubantu
My Asus laptop keeps hanging and rebooting since ubuntu 20.04 (mint latest, ubuntu both) should I try 21 maybe it'll stop ?
try fedora
Good review
You are not using VM
How are you recording your screen (no icon seen)
He records from the HDMI output port.
If I understand correctly the new Plasma 5.22 should be available in the Kubuntu PPA backports, right?
Yes
I'm considering the switch from Mint/Cinnamon to Kubuntu/Plasma, I'm not quite able to do with Cinnamon what I'd like without many pain points. I'm hoping to have better overall performance and smoothness as well and some testimonials I've read seem to indicate that this would be the case.
Any other distributions with kde plasma I should consider?
I know I'm pretty late, but I'm trying out Fedora which is sorta based off of Red Hat from what I read, but you can install the KDE Plasma desktop fairly easily and it works great for first impressions. Kubuntu also looked great if you want to stick to Debian-Based distros.
As per plain Ubuntu 21.04 video a month ago- Why did they even bother - again.
Hey thank u for this video im just trying to learn Linux and I installed kubuntu on and old computer that was giving to me. I have a Dell vostro-230 desktop and so far is working ok I had a laptop it s not working anymore I had it with windows and the reason that I had the laptop is to use it for my drones I was using it to configure the flight controller and that was the only use I had for my laptop and the same with this computer. Anyways thank u for this type of videos.
kubuntu is too awesome. great looks and everything. rich premium look with los of customization. great difference from the plain ubuntu. noticed however some minor things - box selection of desktop or folder icons lags a bit - more like some kind of latency that starts drawing the box select a few miliseconds after you actually start it which is weard but not much of an issue. just might tug on my nerves in terms of snappyness at times. animations are great and can speed them up as well. i think maybe this is ideal for high end computers. for old computers, this might get a bit laggy here and there since its feature rich being KDE.
what would be the best Linux interface of all. I'm not okay with using ubuntu sidebar. I change mine to add to the clock and date area. But still trying out a new linux is something I wanted to do for a while.
could you please recommend to me the Linux distro that won't get stuck? I hate ubuntu. ubuntu always gets stuck. Especially, it's for programming development.
Thanj You interesing video...
Love this distro👍🏼
Thank you, Jay. Yes, Kubuntu is quite venerable now.
Thank you, Dio.
Thank you, Michael.
Thank you, r4d1cxl
Tried kubuntu yesterday, ended up replacing it with manjaro kde, because it’s just so much faster to run and less hassle to get stuff working, and you don’t get snap crap installed by default.
It's been my lifelong dream to say "first". Thank you for taking the time and effort to share your knowledge.
This is the very first assume I'm going to try because it is so simple I want to try Arch too if you don't like commands why you do on Linux anyways? Have a wonderful day by
I got a question for y'all
I'm a big fan of Ubuntu Studio... but isn't Ubuntu Studio technically Kubuntu?
ðe video is very good.
Ik love kubuntu and lubuntu.
but manual partitioning is hard for me.
I like plasm. But 5.21 has a unique problem. I have a windows smb share. I search any file on that in dolphin and I am locked out. Display manager fails. Happened on manjaro, fedora kde, endeavor... Every kde
@@new-lviv I didn't get time to check if someone has already filed. I will file one on Sunday..
Good review. By the way, if you want bleeding-edge Plasma use KDE Neon instead :)
Lol kde neon does not have the full plasma neon is used for tablets and phones on a desktop it would be minimal
Blackarch installation video with every environment .
I'm one of the people who needs exactly this... kde + ubuntu software is all that matters lol
Klipper is such a pain in the rear. It's why I prefer XFCE.
At least from watching your video this looks way closer to windows 7 style OS to me than Zorin OS 15.2 does.
Though I'll likely still be confused by the lack of .exe files and no My Computer directory.
It's definitely confusing and it'll definitely take a lot of time to understand the things in linux
Missing option to change transparency of the panel.
For that you need aditional plugin kein Skript but acois those with low rating
Need help: How can I enable Hibernate option in this distro...
By installing ppa:slimbook/slimbook
Please Checkout Fedora KDE (But i Prefer GNOME).
I wish someone would put Doom back on the list of Download of games. As always ..Great information.
Lol install steam and you will have alot of games to choose
Can we get a review of garuda linux
So many distros but I love Kubuntu.
Isn't KDE Neon also the latest plasma on the latest Ubuntu?
While Neon is always the latest KDE, they follow Ubuntu LTS so you might wait a couple years for a system update.
On not really you need to add kubuntu backports ppa to get the lates plasma and other stuff
Is kubuntu debain??
Full review? Why no mention on Kernel version then.you failed your sponsors
Nice.
Me and discover do not get along :(
Kubuntu is the the facto distribution of the KDE Project. KDE Neon is a derivative, more on the bleeding edge. So, to make it short: if you want to use KDE, go for Kubuntu.
I don't agree with this, Kubuntu non-LTS releases are sometimes 2 or 3 KDE versions behind when they reach eol but KDE neon is build on Ubuntu LTS and always the newest plasma, for me KDE neon works best because I don't like doing big upgrades every 6 months.
Kubuntu just flat out refuses to install on my Dell laptop. Just never does no matter what I try. Lol
Give manjaro kde a try. I find it works better
21.04 works way better than LTS, at least for me. 20.04 was total garbage. I’ve dumped Kubuntu, now I’m using Mankato KDE. What a disappointment 20.04 turned out to be.
Why do Americans always just tell you what they're looking at and repeat it over and over. So frustrating...
This is just a review of kde, not what I came here for
So what did you come here for, a review on the kernel? The shared libraries? You might be misunderstanding what Kubuntu is.
