Comments on The Perfect Desktop - Kubuntu 12.10

This tutorial shows how you can set up a Kubuntu 12.10 desktop that is a full-fledged replacement for a Windows desktop, i.e. that has all the software that people need to do the things they do on their Windows desktops. The advantages are clear: you get a secure system without DRM restrictions that works even on old hardware, and the best thing is: all software comes free of charge. Kubuntu uses the KDE desktop environment.

KDE Rules! Thank you gnome for driving me away.

I would suggest Kdenlive for video editor. What a step up from openshot, anyway. My son was easlity able to use it after having used Openshot quite a bit. Have not tried Kino lately but I find KDE/Qt apps to be typically far superior to the gnome/Gtk style ones.

Clementine is by far the best player, in my opinion.

Also can we call Gimp: 'Gimp', not 'The Gimp'. Do we call photoshop "the photoshop". Of course not. Its just one of those irritations, sorry.

Every time I do a clean install of Kubuntu, I end up googleing, "Best things to add to Kubuntu" Because I seem to have a sudden blank when it is time to do this again, what are the best programs.

Your tutorial was the easiest to use and the best laid out of any I have ever used. Thanks

The only note is that Gedit doesn't come on a clean install and your first instruction, to add the medibuntu repos used gedit instead of Kate, I have done this before and so getting Gedit was easy, But it might be enough to send a newby back to google. Or worse, Windows.

Such a small detail in an otherwise great set up

Thanks for the note. I've adjusted the tutorial to use kate instead of gedit. :-)
