I really like the Plasma desktop but Kubuntu is a buggy piece

try ubuntu neon

Manjaro KDE

>>57339435
Debian unstable or Arch.

Pick one

Anything that isn't Kubuntu, in my experience.

>>57339435
KDE Neon, nigger.

Nice suggestions. Was considering Neon, Arch and Manjaro, too. What about OpenSUSE?

>>57339586
try arch only if you find yourself removing programs more than you install them. i tried it and loved it, cant really go back to anything at all

>>57339477
Which is essentially Kubuntu.
Don't get me wrong, it's nice but it isn't what OP wants.

>>57339435
sabayon

>>57339435
unironically Archlinux

>>57339435
Arch. Not memeing, just use a installer if you don't want to set it up yourself.

>>57340327
It's not.

>>57339435

same. I threw kubuntu on my desktop a few weeks ago and it's buggy as shit. I installed MATE for the time being.

Honestly I'll probably install Linux Mint (call the cops idgaf) because all the ubuntu flavors seem worse than cinnamon and from what I've gathered cinnamon also runs like shit on ubuntu

I'm a baby so i don't wanna run a distro that doesn't have a huge userbase to solve problems for me

He said smooth and stable, ffs. Neon rolls out bleeding Kpackages...

>>57339435
kde neon

>>57339435

KDE Neon.

It's Ubuntu with KDE built by the guys who write it, not some $RANDOMIDIOT under Shuttleworth who wants to promote Unity.

Suse has historically been better with KDE than with Gnome. Try it.

>>57339435
KDE Neon or Antergos KDE.

No distor. Running plasma smoothly and stably is impossible.

You can throw a dual-xeon machine with NVMe SSD RAID and 32 GB of RAM at Plasma and it will still take a fucking minute to load

OpenSuse

>>57339435
OpenSuzy or Fedora KDE.

This is for you and anyone else who uses KDE: What do you like most about KDE? I gave it another go recently with Neon and it feels almost intimidating. I prefer my DEs to be much less "noticeable". At the very least it's certainly become a very good looking DE.

>>57339435
try openSUSE Leap 42.2 in a few days

>>57342450
I really like the customizabilty you can do. I cant tweak averythink nice and easy from the settings, without fearing of tearing x.org to pieces

>>57339446
install gentoo

>>57342450
>Fedora

Ubuntu has cinnamon, just 'apt-get install cinnamon'
There's no need to reinstall your OS just to change desktops.
