Ok, now I've tried both of them. Hmmm... It's really hard for me to say, which is better. Actually impossible, it's basicaly the same distro, because even if you download KDE for Ubuntu, it says "kubuntu" on the startup screen and the theme is just the same. Both of them I have on the DVD, which also has the LiveCD option, so I did check them out before installing.
Kubuntu was a bit raw, features like the mighty synaptic turned into something as wierd as Kynaptic (well, i didn't like it, and it's really easy to fix it as was mentioned in this thread). A lot of other features where simply not installed (no prob tho). What can I say? I still liked it. I don't like easy stuff, it's boring. When everything works perfectly at the beggining, you don't learn anything, and I get bored with (although it is a great feeling when everything works from the first try, it is a much BETTER feeling when everything starts to work after days of
and
, cuz then you'll finally be
IMO)
Now back to the topic. Ubuntu. It's great. I saw tons of features "integrated" into the system, and it's nice. Didn't like the App's menu, wanted to edit it and got myself a headache
, but as I said, it's nice to learn something new.
Kubuntu is really new, and the developers done a great job! I liked Gnome, but KDE is easier and faster for me, because sometimes tiny DM problems stand in my way when I have to solve a bigger one. But hey, it does get sorted out eventualy!
I guess I'll try to make Kubuntu work, cuz I believe it's gonna be fun (yea, rite
), or I'll wait till the Breezy, and then do it... Anyways, I'm still thinking
If you want to try Ubuntu/Kubuntu and need to find out whats right for you - I suggest downloading LiveCD's (if you have that oportunity), cuz once you boot up, it's what you're gonna start with after the installation. If you can't do that, choose Ubuntu, unless you just hate Gnome.
Wow, pretty long post, tried to tell you what I was thinking. Hope I didn't get too far
Good luck!
