Kubuntu is over engineered. There are ten ways to do anything when you only need one. You have infinite ability to decorate the desktop. It also does not run as fast as Ubuntu Mate or Lubuntu (LXDE) because it has a lot to do. Ubuntu Mater runs a lot faster.

Ubuntu Mate is the best one that I have seen. It will install on a hard drive in about an hour and it is real simple to configure. It now has a long term support edition. It used to be known as Gnome 2 and when Gnome 3 came out, Gnome 3 or Unity wasn't all that popular. So some people set up what is known as a "fork" and brought Gnome 2 back up to speed as Ubuntu Mate.

Hey,

I am wondering if I can some input on kubuntu or any of those users out there. I am tired of unity and tried xubuntu but was not did not like either.

I have tried arch for about a month..really enjoyed it but it came to a point where I needed to be productive mainly using gns3 1.2.3 I was having issues with multilibs repo. and getting their libssl library to link to another file.

So in essence, I am seeking opinions on kubuntu I have also tested it in the passed but didn't mind it ( think I was seeking something more advanced). As stated before would like to continue with arch but need to be productive instead of tinkering with the system which I enjoyed. I was thinking of going to fedora 21 but again I needed a system to work with the lastest version on GNS, which I tried on fedora 21 but couldn't get a few important features to function properly.

Any reviews, opinions, input are welcomed

Thanks
