Decided to download Kubuntu 17.10 daily. Played with other derivatives, why not Kubuntu? What a nice surprise!
Have a look at the screenshot below. Ram use on idle. 347.7 MiB!
(Or 365MB.)
A fully fledged desktop. And, a snappy one.
KDE has gone much much further in development.

Had been using Kubuntu for work last 6 hours. Had no problem. Most interesting is the idle usage, 0.35MB. Not even Xubuntu came near that! A fully fledged DE with so little idle ram usage!
Dolphin is a very nice file manager, maybe the best GUI one out there. Only you are not allowed to open it as root. Well, I can use MC for that -- the best file manager I ever known. I always have MC installed in every install.
There had been lot of talk about Kubuntu being faster in many comments in Ubuntu related websites. I didn't believe how snappy Kubuntu is, until yesterday. And, I'm glad I installed it.

You maybe interested in a post over at the Kubuntu forums indicating that there'll be some sort of provision made to address that issue: https://www.kubuntuforums.net/showth...l=1#post405199Originally Posted by Chanath

I can open dolphin as root from the terminal in 14.04 which uses KDE4. Have the developers removed that ability in KDE5?

I shouldn't have commented on "Dolphin not opening as root." It does not matter. What matters is that while idling, it takes only 0.35 GB ram!
Gnome takes 1.1 GiB and Unity only 1.0 GiB.
This is KDE 5...and, it is snappy!

Well, installed Kubuntu daily of 1st October in a UEFI laptop.
Just can't believe what I see; Kubuntu uses only 380 MB in idle mode. Without System Monitor, it might be even less.
Its less than even what Lubuntu or Xubuntu. Nothing much to say about Gnome, which takes 1.1GB!!!
Kubuntu being fully fledged distro, without the need of any extensions, tweak tools etc, idling at just 380 MB is amazing!

I switched to Kubuntu after Canonical announced it was ditching Unity, and am really glad I did! I'm not really a distro-hopper, so will probably stick with Kubuntu for the foreseeable future. I tried Gnome, and just didn't like it (found it quite awful, if I'm to be honest).
Kubuntu, FOR THE WIN! ->

That's not what I'm seeing on my system:
In distant past, I was able to use kubuntu with nouveau. Not anymore. I need to install nvidia-legacy for it to even boot to the desktop. Also Plasma takes a long time to finish.Code:===xubuntu===$ grep -iE 'MemTotal:|MemFree:' /proc/meminfo MemTotal: 3788344 kB MemFree: 2709496 kB == $ free -m total used free shared buff/cache available Mem: 3699 312 2645 15 741 3121 Swap: 1999 0 1999 == $ vmstat -s|grep -E 'total memory|used memory' 3788344 K total memory 324072 K used memory == Htop reports: Mem 346M/3.61G ===kubuntu=== $ free -m total used free shared buff/cache available Mem: 3696 597 2602 5 496 2881 Swap: 1999 0 1999 == vmstat: 3785248 K total memory 611280 K used memory == top reports: used memory 658588
