Moved from Fedora (KDE) to Kubuntu
I’ve been an Ubuntu (GNOME) user for years. I briefly flirted with Pop!_OS when COSMIC came along, but I felt it still wasn’t quite ready. I also tried Zorin OS, and while I found it a bit bland, it does exactly what it promises, so no criticism there.
Then I saw how far KDE Plasma had come and decided to give it a shot with Fedora. Unfortunately, I ran into a lot of problems right from the installation: GPU detection issues, problems recognizing my partitions, and GRUB issues.
After a lot of troubleshooting, research, and tweaking, I finally managed to get Fedora running stable in a dual-boot setup with Windows 11, while keeping Zorin OS around as a backup.
Still, I missed the stability and simplicity of Ubuntu. When the new LTS came out, I decided to take another look. The problem was that, by then, I was completely convinced that when it comes to the interface and overall user experience, KDE Plasma was the answer.
So I went with Kubuntu, and my experience has been pretty much perfect.
Zero issues with installation, partitioning, dual boot, GPU drivers, or third-party plugins. It just works.
I think I’ve finally found what I was looking for.
