Table Notes and Explanations

(Please refer to the table below.)
  • Select view:
  • To compare the software in this project to the software available in other distributions, please see our Compare Packages page.
  • Notes: In case where multiple versions of a package are shipped with a distribution, only the default version appears in the table. For indication about the GNOME version, please check the "nautilus" and "gnome-shell" packages. The Apache web server is listed as "httpd" and the Linux kernel is listed as "linux". The KDE desktop is represented by the "plasma-desktop" package and the Xfce desktop by the "xfdesktop" package.
  • Colour scheme: green text = latest stable version, red text = development or beta version. The function determining beta versions is not 100% reliable due to a wide variety of versioning schemes.

A great system, harnessing the best desktop environment in my opinion (that includes Windows and Mac) with the unmatched user-friendliness (hardware and software) of Ubuntu.

This might be an unpopular opinion on Linux forums but I really like snaps - they update automatically and I notice little to no difference in start times with debs (which I also like) - Flatpaks perform much worse on my system and often can't even access directories that they need, so are worse than uselss for me.

I look forward to trying out the all-snap OS Ubuntu has planned (hopefully it includes the community editions).

Boot up is slower than say Devuan (the other, and main, system I use), but it is as quick or quicker than Fedora, the most sluggish OS I have tried.

After using elementary.io for a few years now I was looking for a new distro for my 11 year old ASUS notebook. I didn't feel like reinstaling the whole system at least once per year for the major version update. So I tried Kubuntu and so far it's working well (rn it's my daily driver since I got no access to my PC).

KDE Plasma is, alongside Cinnamon, one of my favorite Linux desktops to date. It's a bit heavy on the CPU, but the interface overall feels very streamlined and easy to navigate. Overall Kubuntu is quite a good OOB experience with a few minor stability issues unfortunately, but one of the most user-friendly Linux distros nonetheless.

Of all the official Ubuntu flavors, Kubuntu is the one for me as well as the one I install for friends and family.
It's easy, stable, looks fantastic and it works extremely well. Perfect for the newbie to average user.
There hasn't been an issue with drivers on any machine I put this on. Including a 2012 MacBook Pro.
You don't get the latest and greatest but really six months isn't too long to wait. And for the newbie to average user it's a non issue.

10/10 after all existence of snaps/snapd have been removed and blocked. You do get a slight resource boost one this is completed.

7/10 if I left things the way they were. Yes, a 3 point loss with the snap system in place. 23.04 seems to be a bit quicker with launch speeds, but still not to the speed of APT and Flatpak. In addition, the snapd services running in the background are just too much. And there are issues with snap app audio and apps not auto updating as they claim to do.

I don't like my system or systems I install for others to have both Snap and Flatpak. So Flakpak is just a much better choice. Neither is perfect. But Flatpak has a larger inventory, perform pretty dang well and just doesn't have the problems snaps are continuously plagued with.

KUBUNTU!!!!
