## Reviews

### "Pretty good OS for my 8yo laptop" — 5.0/5

> **Alejandro** | *15 February 2022* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: very stable, comes with a lot of useful apps, and software available. It works pretty fine with most online meeting apps (zoom, teams, webex)
> 
> **Cons**: I had and issue with touchpad that was solved by modifiying some config file, unfortunately some hardware still may experience some minor problems with Linux based OS
> 
> It has been a very useful OS to  give new live to old hardware, with minor upgrades like SSD and RAM the hardware will run like a fox.

### "Kubuntu, un Ubuntu con KDE" — 5.0/5

> **Verified Reviewer** | *13 January 2023* | Mechanical or Industrial Engineering | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Tiene todas las ventajas de Ubuntu con las ventajas de KDE
> 
> **Cons**: KDE consume mas recursos que otras opciones.
> 
> Muy buena, posible usarlo desde el mismo momento que terminas la instalación al traer ya las aplicaciones más básicas pre-instaladas. Ubuntu con KDE es siempre una gran opción, aunque necesitas un equipo con unos requisitos mínimos algo exigentes.

### "Il mio Linux preferito da anni" — 4.0/5

> **Cristian** | *4 February 2023* | Program Development | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Le potenzialità infinite che offre di apprendimento del mondo Linux e della programmazione in generale
> 
> **Cons**: Troppi driver ancora oggi non stanno al passo dei concorrenti di Microsoft e Apple, con ripercussioni non indifferenti sulla produttività aziendale. Per fare un esempio concreto, Blender funziona meglio su Windows che non su Kubuntu, per non parlare di UE4, Unity e Visual Studio.
> 
> Sono anni che lo impiego sia per divertimento che per lavoro. Vi sono bellissimi giochi gratuiti e possibilità di programmare gratuitamente e lavorare nello sviluppo software con praticamente ogni linguaggio di programmazione. Una validissima alternativa a Windows, grazie a un'interfaccia utente molto più flessibile.

### "Ubuntu con KDE" — 4.0/5

> **Pros**: Todas las ventajas de Ubuntu pero con un escritorio tan completo y bonito como es KDE.La instalación es muy sencilla y ya instala las aplicaciones más básicas poder usarlo desde el primer momento. Las actualizaciones, al  estar basado en Ubuntu, son bastante frecuentes y es muy sencillo mantenerlo actualizado.KDE, desde mi punto de vista, es uno de los mejores escritorios dentro de mundo Linux, bonito y con muchas opciones... y si aun así no te gusta lo puedes personalizar.
> 
> **Cons**: KDE, aunque es muy bonito y completo, si consume más recurso que otros escritorios, por lo que si tienes un equipo con pocos recurso te recomiendo otra distribución.
> 
> Una gran distribución para comenzar a usar Linux. Muy estable y con un bonito y completo escritorio como es KDE.Fácil de instalar, muy seguro y todo eso gratuito\!
