I highly recommend trying out other flavours of Ubuntu: Xubuntu (XFCE), Lubuntu (LXDE), Kubuntu (KDE), Ubuntu MATE, Ubuntu Budgie. Next week all should get 20.0

- thanatropism 7y agoI don’t understand why you need different distributions for different DEs. The only distro I’ve used past teenage is Ubuntu. I alternate stints of maybe 2 years with Windows, 2 years with Ubuntu. First thing I do after installing the most recent LTS Ubuntu is “apt install spectrwm”. Spectrwm is not even particularly good — everyone tells me to use xmonad instead — but I know how to get it in usable shape in about half an hour. This after many moons of exclusively using Windows.
- RedShift1 7y agoThey are not different distributions but more like a different edition or "spin" of Ubuntu. They just install a different set of packages.
- distances 7y agoFor KDE you're better off with KDE Neon. Still based on Ubuntu, but that's the official KDE distro if you can speak of one.
