Bear in mind too, that Kubuntu is an organization of packagers,
promoters and software developers; KDE is a similar group of
enthusiastic contributors. All of this combined effort results in a
desktop environment that I would consider "mostly stable". It takes me
usually 4 hours to get my system the way I like to work with it, but
when I started working with an open source desktop around 1999-2000 it
would take days to get things working properly. Please send your
thanks to all of the contributors that provide you with a free desktop
environment, regardless of hurdles you may have to cross to get to
using it.
KDE Plasma 5 is simply the only choice imo for a free, productive and
pleasing desktop environment, and the Kubuntu team is as enthusiastic
about delivering this experience as I have love for KDE. :D
