The last couple of weeks I have been searching for the perfect Distro that was on par with Swindows 10, long time Swindows user since the early 90's Always wanted to use Linux but could never get it to work with my pc's over the years, there always seemed to be something that didn't work right or mainly I didn't understand how to fix it. Lately I've tried every Arch Distro and have come up very disappointed.
I always had problems with Kubuntu and have always hated the look of Ubuntu, I've tried all the various Distros using KDE/Plasma last distro being MX 19.3 which worked fine for a few days than took a crap on me for no reason. So I gave Kubuntu a try and was expecting the worse, tried to install about 5 times only to have the installer crash, what a PITA!!!
I remember reading to not include 3rd party and updates at install, well what do you know it installed. i did the min install. Been on this for about a week and it's as fast or faster than Swin 10, boot's up fast, shut's down fast and restarts as fast as Swin 10.
What I like most is it has better audio drivers, Swin 10 has drivers that haven't been updated since '15, Bluetooth audio is ok it just doesn't get loud enough like it does on Linux, I really don't know if that's a driver issue but I like how Bluetooth works in linux.
One of the big reasons I want to gravitate from Swindows other than BG's is a total A Hole, is I no longer play games, only reason I was on Swindows in the first place. Anyways so far everything is working great, hopefully it continues to do so, I'm not dual booted with Swindows, Linux is on a separate SDD and I just jump back to Swindows via the BIOS, that works best for me, I've had dualboot nightmares in the past.

Flipped back over to Kubuntu which booted up normal to see if my D-drive on the windows Drive was mounted causing the problem, not mounted but I could access from Kubuntu if I wanted to but not from the Windows Drive, weird
