From the lone individual contributing his/her valuable time and equipment writing software and/or documentation to the giant corporations assigning paid employees to working on the Linux kernel and other apps st no charge, or the people who donate money (like those supporting this forum), what has evolved is a culture of mutual self-interest and respect for the advantage of all.
Since 1998 I have used 20 paid releases of SuSE over a five year period during which it was easier to pay money than contribute time and during the last six years I have been using Kubuntu and contributing time writing documentation and helping on this forum. However, just like my use of Linux I have gotten much more from this forum than I have contributed. For that I thank YOU, the the members of this forum!

And we from you. From each in their own way, and from each in return. Others have said it, but I'll repeat it: Kubuntu Forums is a truly unique Linux (kubuntu) support forum on the 'Net. I am not aware of any others that compare to ours. It's our members to be sure, but it's the tolerance we show that makes all the difference.Windows no longer obstructs my view.
Using Kubuntu Linux since March 23, 2007.

I've been a Kubuntu user since around 2009--I started with Ubuntu but tried Kubuntu out of curiosity and have never gone back. I have a dual boot with Windows 7 but rarely use it as Kubuntu does 99% of everything I need a computer for (some NASA viewers won't work on Linux). I am still amazed that this is free software and is so good--a tribute to all who have worked on it. And a special tribute to the people on this forum who have steered me in the right direction whenever I've had problems, even when my problem hasn't been particularly easy to solve. I live in Peru where this is practically no Kubuntu support so this forum is vital to me; fortunately, I have few problems with Kubuntu (none so far on 14.10) but it's nice to know that someone is always there ready to help. And a tip of the hat to member who started this thread--gratitude is important in this age of free software.

I'm not a full-time Kubuntu or Linux user, nor a professional IT person. I'm just a hobbyist. I would like to thank all the developers, the documentation volunteers, the testers and the corporations that bear the the bulk of the burden of funding most of that work. I have been a user of KDE distros almost the whole time I've tried to use Linux and Kubuntu since around 2009, with more or less success, success which which I could not have accomplished without the time sacrificed by so many volunteers on this very forum. If you have an interest in Kubuntu and all things Debian/KDE related, KFN is where you should be. The people here will help in just about any way they can. Thanks to those who made it happen and to those who hold the hands of us wannabes.Linux User #454271
