  • 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.

Switched from Ubuntu to Kubuntu with this version and KDE Plasma 6 desktop is amazing. It works so much smoother than the GNOME in Ubuntu. Also love all the features and customizations that it offers. Also Kubuntu uses less snap packages which is nice. I also have 3 monitors and they also are supported much better in Kubuntu. I like that the screenshot tool has some very nifty tools built in that you can use to annotate screenshots. And it can even be used to record videos. This should be the default *buntu edition.

Disappointed with Ubuntu (GNOME is heavy as a boulder for a 10-year-old PC), I installed Kubuntu 24.04 LTS. I must say that it is light and easy to use with my computer, without overheating or slowing down. Only the choice of wallpaper (which can be changed with 2 mouse clicks) is open to criticism. Plasma 5 guarantees the stability I am looking for the next 3 years. On first start-up, I only had to give a 'snap refresh' to get a quick update of all containerised applications. For the first time, I can judge Kubuntu as 'excellent'.

hello, linux user for years, I searched, installed and tested many distros, especially to "resurrect" old PCs and laptops, trying to solve the triangle "technical characteristics of the machine" - "ergonomics" - "performance / maintenance of the distro" as best as possible. In its MX-23.3_386 version, MX has established itself as the best choice to make an old HP mini from 2011 equipped with an Intel Atom N570 processor with only 1GB of ram usable again, without having a nervous breakdown!
So, yes, MX linux deserves this score of 10.
Bravo and thank you to their teams!
