A new user's perspective about Kubuntu
Hi! I'm a new Kubuntu user. I am comming from using Gnome for 6 months (Debian 12) and using windows my entire life.
Kubuntu is great, and I would recommend it to anyone. I discover new features every day and I am greatful of just how stable my computer is.
Gnome was ok, but without extentions is kind of bear bones. I really hate that I can not rename a file just by slow double click on file name.
Also, no image previews when I try to upload an image? I guess that was fixed in gnome 44 to some extent.
Kubuntu (KDE) on the other hand feels like it has everything, and it's all configured in an inteligent way.
It doesn't take a lot of time to learn the basics, and advanced options are always available.
What I would like to change on Kubuntu:
Just some design stuff. A more rounded and simplistic theme based on good UI. I understand that rounded corners are still an issue.
Also fewer hard lines, for example: In Dolphin, there are a lot of borders that could disappear and it would make a cleaner design.
Not enough padding: For example, in Dolphin, the side pannel, Places, there should be a little more left padding.
Elements should be aligned. If you draw a veritical line from the top menu, from the word "File", every element on the bottom should be aligned to that line.
The only thing I miss from Gnome:
There is an extension, I don't remember the name, it changes the sound volume when scrolling anywhere on the task bar.
It's stupid, but I got so used to that and now I miss it. I hope there is something like that in KDE and I still didn't find it.
Anyway, if you are a new user like me, what is your perspective?
I ask only new users because I know that in time anything can become so familiar that you can ignore the bad and apreciate the good.
I know I ignored a lot of bad things in windows.
