OS Review: Kubuntu
Thumbs up. Way up.
Kubuntu is a version of Linux. It's a variation of the very popular Ubuntu. When I had to reinstall everything on my computer I decided to try Kubuntu instead. I like it more. Kubuntu uses something called KDE; Ubuntu uses Gnome instead. There are a lot of programs that were designed for KDE, and I've decided I just like it better. Better layout, better control.
The one thing that was difficult was getting Compiz running again. I thought after last time I'd gotten the hang of it, but since I'm using a different OS the installation was a little different. There aren't as many "how-to"'s for Compiz on Kubuntu, but I finally found one that was really excellent: check it out. He also uses Wordpress for his blog. Props to Flavor 8!
Now my big decision is: do I reinstall windows too? If I do, I know it's going to mess with linux again. But can I really manage to survive without windows on my desktop computer?
Let's find out.
