Feedback on Kubuntu 15.04

[artbar]

Kubuntu-14.04 is the one at this point that will give a person the best experience of a polished all working no hiccups/quirks OS with a beautiful KDE desktop....IMO

I was referring to the very beginning of KDE4. Sure, it matured over time and became stable.

Thanks vinnywright, NoWorries, xennex81 and nukedathlonman.

In fact you're making valid conclusions and suggestions. I was too quick with moving from Xubuntu to Kubuntu with fresh Plasma 5. I have to admit - my only motive to come back to Kubuntu was aesthetics of Plasma 5. Of course, mass of positive reviews were "the last drop" making me impatient with this transition. Otherwise Xubuntu was and still perfect match for me. But I wanted some "modern nice looking desktop" so madly

Now back to reality - I'll wait for next Kubuntu LTS, back to Xubuntu.

Thank you for your thoughts and help.

You can use rock solid 14.04 + plasma 5 look: http://kde-look.org/content/show.php...content=166438

And yes... plasma 5 is far from being ready

Nasty thing is 14.04 won't allow me to run Diablo 3. There is no support from Intel for those Linux Graphics Stack drivers. This is why 14.10 for me. Now it worries me that "14.10 will not much longer be supported".

15.04 is still a tryout still. There were major (MAJOR) bugs that were only fixed a few weeks prior to release. That is just ridiculous from my POV.

Newest 14.04.2 point release includes 14.10's kernel and drivers :-)

And 14.10 is only supported till july 2015.

Meaning the 14.04.2 will work with that Intel installer? But why have a 9 month support cycle for .10 when there is no 15.10 planned for release yet?? It is said that 14.04 provides the stable versions of all software with nothing new.

Currently I'm pretty much married to 15.04 but the idea is to keep 14.10 as the foundation although I have it installed on a system now (and not anything with 15.04 (except a HDD removed from a dead laptop)).

I think intel installer doesn't work with 14.04.2 anymore. But you really don't need it. You can update drivers yourself. You need latest stable kernel which you can install from here: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/ and add oibaf or xorg-edgers ppa.

But if 14.10 works for you, then you can use it few more months.

Solved for now as proposed by schnelle. Thanks.

P.S.: I have impression that Kubuntu team shall put some disclaimer for 15.04 - "If you need stable system - stick to 14.04. 15.04 is only for advanced testers and early adopters".
