"Gareth Halfacree takes the KDE spin of popular desktop
Linux distribution Ubuntu, known as Kubuntu, through its paces...
"Pros: Plasma interface offers plenty of eye-candy, simple
installation process, and an excellent selection of pre-installed
applications
Cons: Unfamiliar default browser, old-fashioned software
installation GUI, and several areas such as Activities are still
poorly documented
"Canonical's Ubuntu is one of the most popular desktop Linux
distributions around, but it's easy to forget that there is a
wealth of alternatives built on the same user-friendly base –
including, most famously, the KDE-based Kubuntu. While the back end
of the OS is identical in both cases, the interface couldn't be
more different."
