Kubuntu 24.04 third review - It's shaping up nicely
Quoting: Kubuntu 24.04 third review - It's shaping up nicely —
This is not going to be any sort of revolutionary article. After all, my 2010 eeePC netbook, with an Atom processor and just one GB of RAM still works, still runs fine with MX Linux on it. There's absolutely no reason why a laptop from 2014, with an i7 processor, 16 GB or RAM and a discrete graphics card, and with SSD to boot, shouldn't work well. And indeed it does. Now, finally, though, the software matches the hardware, in the sense that Kubuntu 24.04 has matured enough to be viable for everyday use. Shame that it took so long, superb that it did.
My third review of the distro is more positive than the initial results. A lot of the problems have been resolved, and I'm quite pleased with the responsiveness and stability improvements. Then again, the first few minutes of the testing sessions were quite rough. I complained about software managed quite some in my Tumbleweed review a couple of weeks back, and I wasn't happy to see Discover throw out yet more errors. But these were transient, they went away, and the system successfully patched itself, bringing many a benefit to the end user. Well, time to wrap this up. I'm kind of content, so let's not jinx it. See you around.
