"KDE Plasma has won me over. It's gorgeous, smooth, fast, and as stable as any desktop on the market. On top of all that, it has features that other desktops only dream of, including KDE Activities, KRunner, Window Rules, and KDE Connect."
"Kubuntu is essentially Ubuntu with the KDE Plasma desktop. What that means is you're getting all of the user-friendliness of Ubuntu (such as the APT package manager, Snap packages, and the massive default repositories), but instead of the Ubuntu-tweaked GNOME desktop, you get KDE Plasma."
"Kubuntu delivers KDE Plasma in a way that makes clear who it's for: new (or new-ish) Linux users. Even on first boot, you get two desktop launchers: one labeled How-To Guides and the other Kubuntu Websites. (These launchers open the default browser (Firefox) to those respective sites.)"
"Kubuntu's look and feel leans into the past a bit; it's sort of Windows 7-ish, with a bottom panel that extends from side to side, a fairly traditional desktop menu, and a default theme that is a mixture of dark and light."
Kubuntu and Fedora KDE both provide the KDE Plasma desktop, but they package and present it differently. Kubuntu is Ubuntu with KDE Plasma, combining Ubuntu’s user-friendly tooling such as APT, Snap support, and large default repositories with a KDE-based interface instead of Ubuntu’s GNOME setup. Kubuntu targets new or newer Linux users, including first-boot launchers that link to how-to guides and Kubuntu websites. Fedora KDE uses a different approach to delivering KDE Plasma, and its look and feel are described as more modern than Kubuntu’s. KDE Plasma itself is characterized as smooth, fast, stable, and feature-rich, including KDE Activities, KRunner, Window Rules, and KDE Connect.
