My Perfect Kubuntu 10.04 Desktop
In case you never knew. Kubuntu is an official derivative of the Ubuntu operating system using the KDE graphical environment instead of GNOME. While Ubuntu is based on a heavily customized version gnome desktop environment. Kubuntu is just plain vanilla kde (down to artwork) it also lacks some of the features and innovations which canonical has built into Ubuntu hence no ubuntu one, software center, me menu etc. What kubuntu however has going for it is a strong tie to the kde upstream (and the awesomeness which comes with that) and strong community control (meaning less co operate influence). Kubuntu 10.04 LTS was released couple of months ago. It is based on KDE 4.4 which brings a host of features many of which I hope to review in a much later post. I have been running Kubuntu 10.04 now since the Release Candidate and simply upgraded to the final release. So far I would have to say it has been release smooth although not perfect. Compared to Ubuntu The out of the box experience of Kubuntu can be a little rough edge and quite overwhelming especially to a user who is very new to KDE. It is for this reason that I decided to share some tips and walk around for minor annoyances I encountered using Kubuntu Lucid and generally things I did after installing Kubuntu . NB These is by no means the gospel of how kubuntu should be. It is based on how I setup my Kubuntu Desktop (Emphasis on “I” and “My” )
