No KDE? No thanks

Sorry, I am not very insterested in the Gnome Desktop. Until they support KDE I won't be using Ubuntu again.

I know I know, I have used Kubuntu but I wasn't impressed. Besides I don't believe Kubuntu is officially supported by Ubuntu is it?

I'll stick with my Gentoo/KDE combo. Its super fast and looks great. Now if only KDE4 would hurry up and get done.

Excellent

I love the number of choices we have. From beginner
to expert, there's a distribution that fits your
needs. Ubuntu is excellent for beginners, Fedora
for more sofisticated users. Slackware for
hackers, etc, etc.

Yes, it's part of Ubuntu

Yes, Kubuntu is an official part of Unbuntu, as is Edubuntu. The idea is KDE users won't have to download all of Gnome, and Gnome users won't have to download all of KDE. So if you didn't like Kubuntu, then you wouldn't like Unbuntu. Plenty of distros to pick from.

Stick with what 'ya got

I would venture to say that if you are already using Gentoo - you'll best stick with what you have. Ubuntu takes the point of being Linux for "everyone" and it may just not suit your needs. If you are already using Gentoo, and you tend to be more specific in your needs, then Ubuntu may not be the *best* choice in your situation.

I use Ubuntu both at home and work (although IT doesn't know that... )and it works fine for my Linux needs - plus I take the counter approach: KDE in it's current iteration is getting to be a bit stale and I think Gnome has a great user interface - so I concur with your statement regarding waiting for KDE4.... it does look promising...

You could wait for SimplyMepis 6

I heard they will use Ubuntu as their core now. But then again, Gentoo's cool because it's optimized for your hardware. Yeah, better stick with your current setup, I guess. They say Plasma may come at the end of the year, i hope...

Ubuntu with KDE Exists

If you prefer KDE, try Kubuntu. (Kubuntu.org)
