Greetings all,
Check this out, I ran across this article yesterday.
http://dot.kde.org/2012/03/05/kde-be...vironment-year
I'm a new member to kubuntuforums.net but I've been a long-time Ubuntu user (as of 6.06). However during the 3rd quarter of last year the Unity/Gnome-3 DE "improvement" mess evicted me from my Gnome-2.x comfort zone and into the cold. So I test-drove Debian (Gnome & KDE), Fedora, CentOS, Chakra, and Kubuntu. And I found that Kubuntu delivered the best balance of features, stability, and (some) bling. Sometime back I had tried KDE 4.0/4.1 but it was just too rough at the edges but... the new KDE-4.8 is amazing.
So now I'm a Kubuntu convert, and a VERY happy one at that.
On a side note I think it was a blunder on Canonical's part to drop their offical Kubuntu/KDE support. I think Canonical should have 6x their Kubuntu resources and used Kubuntu as the transition target for normal deskop and power-users. The Unity interface would then be be targeted at novice users and Netbook/Notepad devices.
Anyway, I'm really glad I found this forum. Ciao.
