Muy estable y con un bonito y completo escritorio como es KDE.Fácil de instalar, muy seguro y todo eso gratuito! 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.

Disoccupato Program Development ### "Il mio Linux preferito da anni" 4.0 Overall Rating 4.0 4.0 Ease of Use 4.0 4.0 Features 3.0 3.0 Customer Service 4.0 4.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 February 4, 2023 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. 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.

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 Review source Non-incentivized review: any software user can leave a review for any product listed on our site.
