Try kubuntu. It uses (the imo much nicer) KDE instead of gnome.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I'm planning to switch away from Kubuntu after using it for at least a decade on my desktop and laptop machines. The whole snap thing gets annoying. Yes, I can override it, I know, but...effort. I'm planning to just go to Debian.

Just get KDE from the horse's mouth then and use KDE Neon. Ubuntu packages, but snapd isn't even installed by default. It also ships with rolling release stable KDE, but isn't rolling release otherwise.

I'm not clear on the benefit of that over just running Debian. And aren't there concerns about Canonical?

[–] moomoomoo309 2 points 9 months ago

It just means your KDE version is newer, it's also the distro made by the KDE devs. I'm not too worried about canonical, they're annoying, but it rarely affects me.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago

TIL KDE has their own official distro.

however, KDE neon.

do i have to elaborate?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I didn't know neon was based on Ubuntu as well, neat.

it's very poggers

Fedora KDE is a thing too.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago

That's not using Ubuntu which is what the user wanted.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Thanks for the suggestion.
I have only ever tried Gnome (and a quick test of ElementaryOS and ZorinOS), but maybe it is time to try another DE.

The best thing about this....

You can do Ubuntu AND still install KDE

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Yeah exactly.

Not too fond of snap, but am trying KDE Neon now, as I'm a "experienced rookie", but still have never tried any other DE than Gnome..

Oh to be young and in love...

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago

Having used KDE Neon for 10 minutes, I've had no issues with the trackpad..

If this is Ubuntu or KDE, dunno, but liking it so far .
