Does anyone know any site like omgubuntu or ubuntugeek (news, tutorials, software introduction etc.) for Kubuntu?

You can check the OMG! Ubuntu! posts with Kubuntu on the tags: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/tag/kubuntu/

Cheers :cool:

Thanks, I've already done that. But they are just a few and not so frequent.

Just to let you know, Kubuntu is Ubuntu with the KDE desktop.

But Ubuntu has Unity, **** Unity! :guitar:
(I wonder if people realize you can still use Gnome2 in 11.04)

You might be better off just looking for KDE. Aside from the netbook workspace, Kubuntu's KDE isn't much different from upstream.

A Kubuntu dev's blog I just happened to remember.

KDE netbook is from upstream KDE.

Nice blog though.

I don't know what it had to do with my question?

btw, Thanks CraigPlaeo. Nice blog.

You're welcome Gavdari.

Kubuntu changed it to include the menubar. They even patched Qt to do it, which is why that plasmoid won't compile on any other distro.

is this what you're talking about?

Cause it looks fine. I suppose Canonical does contribute to upstream.....

This (http://www.kubuntu.org/files/10.10-release-announce/global_menu.png) is what I'm talking about. It's the global menu in button mode. It's meant to give more vertical space.

Kubuntu netbook wasn't the only reason they did this. The main reason was so that Qt/KDE apps would be able to have a global menu in Unity.

I see...
I dislike the Unity global menu, a lot. It's not obvious, or easy to use. Everything else is cool though.

Yep, and if you're interested in KDE itself, KDE's own blog has a constant stream of juicy info:

It didn't really, was more a rant to all the "Unity sucks, I'm switching to KDE"-threads that have been popping up.

I'm not implying this is why YOU chose Kubuntu. We all have different taste and we all enjoy the freedom of Linux. :smile:

Not exactly like OMG! Ubuntu, but if you don't already know about it, you might be interested in http://www.kubuntuforums.net/

[gavdari]

Thanks guys. I feel alot better now, having something to read about my OS! :D

Well, I do believe that Unity sucks. But that's not the reason. ;)
