Just wondering as ive been told many os’s online and then told to not use certain one aswell, i feel confused on what linux os to try someday. i come from windows 10 and i always find i need windows on atleast 1 device, and put linux on the “outdated” devices, but i keep hoping around, i cant seem to make up my mind.

    I think this is terrible advice lol. I switched to Kubuntu from Windows a while back and it’s been great. I even tried a Gnome based DE and hated it. Kubuntu just works. It was familiar then and continues to be familiar and practical.

      To be fair, it’s not Kubuntu that’s familiar, it’s KDE that’s familiar.

      You can include KDE Plasma in your base install of Arch the same as Kubuntu.

        For sure, I was mostly balking at suggesting people new to Linux use weird DEs. I feel like starting with KDE is the way to go.

      I agree with you both, for different target audiences. And somehow I am both. I love finding new things, the weirder the better, but at the same time Iove having a functional “it just works” desktop environment like kde.
