Hello,
I understand the difference between KDE and Gnome. However, I am not 100% clear on what ubuntu vs kunbuntu imply even though I've tried both a few years ago. Obviously, ubuntu comes with gnome as its desktop environment, and kubuntu comes with KDE.
But, services such as automatic wireless connection, laptop battery monitoring, hardware detection, etc, are those just an intrinsic part of the core ubuntu distribution regardless of whether I'm running kubuntu, xubuntu or [g]ubuntu? Or, would they not necessarily be present in kubuntu for example?
In simple theory it seems like services such as the ones I enumerated should be absolutely common to all ubuntu variants. But in practice, I'm sure different teams are responsible for bundling the variants and I'm not 100% sure I would find all the common services running in each.
Thanks,
spip
