Kubuntu: my dirty secret

Yeah so I've switched over to Linux. Kubuntu, to be precise.

I'm really happy with it. It's faster than Windows, accepts all my old files and disks, looks a lot smarter, fills me with a sense of - albeit geeky - pride, is infinitely more secure, contains OpenOffice which is compatible with MS office, seems more logical... and more.

The problems:

  • Installing applications
  • Installing hardware
  • I've had to use the terminal window for various things
  • NTFS disks aren't writeable
  • The benefits:

  • Faster
  • More attractive
  • More customisable
  • Free
  • Nearly all applications are free
  • Konqueror
  • and lots more...

    I have to admit it: I'm taken with this distro. I finally understand the Linux movement... but I still see many ways that Linux can be approved.
