Ubuntu vs. Kubuntu
Despite the popularity of lightweight desktop environments, options like KDE have also had their hand in making desktop Linux a real pleasure to use. Recently, I wrote a distro comparison of Ubuntu vs. Debian, explaining that Debian presents you with various desktops from which to choose while Ubuntu provides only Unity. To take this a step further, I'll be exploring Kubuntu today so I can expand on that initial comparison.
In this article, I'll look into how Kubuntu differs from Ubuntu, where it shines and some of the areas which might need some improvement.
