@mehulbed:Ubuntu is a Gnome distro,no doubt in that! like slackware or opensuse or pclinuxos or mepis -all kde centric distributions.

and worst of all,all these packages needs maintainers and dedicated work.with default Ubuntu,no confusions,just download and use.

Ubuntu needs lot of improvements and kde,xfce distros means Ubuntu community is wasting time for these distros that developers can be used in Ubuntu for more improvements.

Sidux or Mepis =superior non-buggy Kubuntu.so,why the pain?if any user wants kde to be installed,it can be apt-get installed from ubuntu repos;but there is NO need for these kubuntu,xubuntu things,this is a step backward for Ubuntu devels.

Like slackware fans maintaining custom Gnome packages like dropline Gnome etc,why dont kde guys get their own kde packages?why to corrupt the users by dividing into different desktop env by default?Gnome fits fine in Ubuntu.
Kubuntu is a useless Desktop with Kde force packed into a gtk+ ubuntu base.

Simply Mepis is what a "better Kubuntu" for Kde fans.even better Mepis with latest release shifted back to Debian core.
Kubuntu users here is the link:
