The Kubuntu is Ubuntu system with KDE plasma desktop installed and perhaps some additional features so one can call it distro. If Ubuntu, Lubuntu, Xubuntu, Mint, Ubuntu-MATE work, Kubuntu should work too without glitches.@Luke_Drillbrain
A lot of people dont know that these are all the same with different desktops. Kubuntu is Ubuntu with the KDE desktop. Which by the way is a very bloated desktop. Install a lightwieght desktop like lxde (which by the way is Lubuntu's desktop). And mint is also Ubuntu tailered to people that switch from windows with ease.
install the desktop
sudo apt-get install lxdelogout and you will see an option to switch desktops from KDE to lxde, login and wala...you are in Lubuntu. Much less bloated too.
Quote:It's frustrating because Kubuntu has been great for years, but now I'm considering migrating to Mint.One great thing about linux is its free to reinstall. No crap like 3 install limits like windows has. I usually wont allow 1-2 years go by without a fresh install. That could be because i want to try something or start anew...or be because i broke something and its easier to start fresh than diagnose what you did to mess it up. More often the later with Arch Linux that i break something and cant figure out how to fix it.
