Rating: - Good Linux DistributionThis is a decent version of Linux. I have had to reinstall it once due to me changing the resolution for a new L.C.D. Monitor. I have tried Fedora before and had a pretty good time with that. The reason why I switched from Fedora was Windows crashed on me and I tried reloading Fedora and Windows had problems booting. It was weird because Fedora worked the first time I installed it. I decided to try Kubuntu out and have KDE, instead of having GNOME like I had in Fedora. I have been using Kubuntu for ...
