Differences between Kubuntu and other distributions with KDE

[Jake80p]

.In general, do not download that I am new to linux but still my knowledge is lost
The other day I downloaded and tried Kubuntu.
And I mostly paid attention to memory and CPU consumption.
So Kubuntu with the browser turned on showed me that I have 5.7 RAM (I have 8gb of RAM)., while not as popular as the Quark os(also Ubuntu) distribution with kde has a lower figure 3.7
And I have a question, What are the differences between Kubuntu and other distributions with the same kde? I just don't understand why the results are different with the same desktop.

the actual implementation of the plasma desktop is up tot he distro maintainers and some distros do a more through job than others.

i don't know which other distos you have tried but debian with KDE added on top of it will likely give a very different result than the full implementation and integration of the plasma desktop that you get with kubuntu.

i would expect fedroa's implementation to be more comparable to kubuntu but then we can also be seeing differences in how "available" ram is defined.

all in all i wouldn't sped too much time thinking about these and just go with the distro that suits your need.

Kubuntu is SPECIFICALLY designed to use KDE. KDE does use a lot of resources to get that sleek and customizable look, 8 gigs is plenty. I also use Ubuntu Studio which comes with KDE, there are some differences in how and when updates are delivered. If you are looking for the most up to date and best running version of KDE, it would be found in Kubuntu, as that is their focused specialty. If you were looking to do sound recordings and graphics, then Ubuntu Studio KDE would be ideal. You ask a broad question. If you are looking for something that is less resource hungry, you could try Xubuntu, namely XFCE. Any browser that you open on any system, it will use a lot of resources and RAM.
