Thank you.
"simply reinstall from scratch" ...
Well, I have had to do that over the SEVEN years I am trying to get 
friendly with linux already a million times!
In this particular case "simply reinstall" means something like TWO DAYS 
of work. I know, because I DID this many times.
* installation of the OS
* installation of some extra Linux software
* data transfer
* installation of VM Player to install Windows in it -> for the purpose 
of installing many dictionaries Linux cannot provide
* customization

Over these 7 years I have tried to install Linux - multiple versions on 
multiple computers - an uncountable number of times.
And that is about as far as I get.
Install the system - sneeze ... and everything(!) goes down the drain.

On the official Ubuntu website it says "Ubuntu is designed to be easy to 
use",
on the top page of the Kubuntu site it says "Kubuntu makes your PC 
friendly"  ......

THAT is definitely NOT my experience.
