Re: Which is better, Kubuntu or Ubuntu?
Really neither is better or worse than the other. They both use different toolkits or framework to draw and render the GUI.
The toolkits are gnome/ubuntu = gtk and kde/kubuntu = qt.
You can run qt programs in a gtk environment, and likewise,
you can run gtk programs in a qt environment, the downside is,
for either to work you MUST install many libraries from the other toolkit, so it can weigh on your system.
If you have a modern, fast machine, it may not make a difference.
If you have an older machine, running extra libraries, can significantly slow down the overall speed.
