Are there any nice Linux distributions that are primarily based around KDE that I might have missed? I use Kubuntu right now, but it always feels a little like a second-class citizen compared to the mainstream Ubuntu.
Does anyone have any recommendations? The sheer number of distros on Distrowatch is a little overwhelming.
- dexen 14y agoSlackware is, and most of its derivatives like SalixOS. The mainline comes with older KDE version: 4.8.5 -- but a longtime contributor, Alienbob, provides recent compilations at http://alien.slackbook.org/blog/kde-releases-4-9-3/ http://alien.slackbook.org/blog/kde-releases-4-9-3/

- emilsedgh 14y agoOpenSuse seems like a good one.It uses KDE by default.
- rmk2 14y agoThis is technically incorrect, since both Gnome and KDE are first-class citizens (and so is XFCE). You get to choose upon installation, and all three DEs are in the official main repository. (This is just a minor correction. By all means, go with openSUSE, KDE support has been excellent for me over the years.)
- BadDesign 14y agoThere you go: http://goo.gl/ZowwQ http://goo.gl/ZowwQ 64 GNU/Linux distributions that use KDE. Rock and Roll! I personally use ArchLinux x86_64 with KDE 4.9.3 => UberAwesome!
- orng 14y agoI have only heard good things about Chakra[1], but unfortunately I have yet to try it out myself. It's based on Arch linux and tries to be as pure KDE/Qt as possible. [1] http://www.chakra-project.org/ http://www.chakra-project.org/
