<br>
Hi,<br>
<br>
I go to <a href="http://www.DistroWatch.com" target="_blank">www.DistroWatch.com</a> occasionally to see what is happening in the Linux world.<br>
<br>
I've tried all of the popular Linux distributions and like current Kubuntu 13.04 64Bit best.<br>
(I came to KDE when Gnome 2.x died - Gnome 3 is awful)<br>
<br>
On DistroWatch website, Kubuntu is ranked # 24 most popular?<br>
This fact makes me sad.<br>
<br>
How can we save Kubuntu and make it more popular?<br>
Thanks!<span class=""><font color="#888888"><br>

<br></div><div style>Kubuntu could be a good option for people who are coming from Windows XP and their machines can actually handle Kubuntu because as far as I remember (last time I checked Kubuntu, it was 10.04), Kubuntu is not lightweight system. KDE could be a good DE for Windows Users. So, don't lose hope, maybe the coming days will increase the popularity of Kubuntu ;)</div>
