![]() ![]() Kubuntu is also a great alternative for users who want the stability, support and Ubuntu repositories but without either the Unity interface or the built-in advertising. I would say that Kubuntu (and KDE) is also a great alternative for Windows users but it takes the desktop that Windows users are used to and adds real functionality and value to that experience. Windows users who move over to Linux are often encouraged to use Linux Mint with the Cinnamon desktop because it provides an experience akin to Windows 7. KDE looks good, performs well and is very stable. My whole view of KDE has changed because of Kubuntu 13.10. Windows users will find it a lot easier getting to grips with Kubuntu than they will with Windows 8. Really though I think Kubuntu 13.10 is so good that you should just bite the bullet and wipe Windows completely and just install it on its own. (Some of the screens may be different but the logic is the same). New users might stumble when installing alongside Windows 8 but I have written a guide showing how to install Ubuntu alongside Windows 8 and most of this works for Kubuntu 13.10 as well. The layout is crisp, completely intuitive and easy to follow. The Kubuntu installer is probably the best I have ever seen for any operating system. I decided to install Kubuntu 13.10 alongside Ubuntu 13.10 and Windows 8 on the same machine which is a Dell Inspiron 15. Īs Kubuntu is part of the Ubuntu family you can install it on its own or alongside other operating systems, including Windows 8 with EFI enabled. If you would prefer to get a DVD or USB drive with Kubuntu already installed you can buy a copy by visiting. To burn the Kubuntu 13.10 ISO to a USB drive use UNetbootin. The download link above will provide you with an ISO file for Kubuntu 13.10 which you can burn to DVD or a USB drive. ![]() In essence though the rotating slides at the top of the page state that Kubuntu is: ![]() The Kubuntu website has a very good section describing the features. I have found it to be clunky and overkill for my needs.Īs I have written reviews for Ubuntu, Xubuntu and Lubuntu it seems only appropriate to complete the set by reviewing Kubuntu. Data obtained while using the bootable USB can be stored on the USB drive along with the operating system.In the past I have not been the biggest fan of the KDE desktop. It can also allow individuals to carry a portable operating system wherever they go. This utility is advantageous for individuals with a computer that does not have an optical drive. This utility is a powerful way for individuals to experience Linux without using a CD to run or install an operating system. It is even possible for users to place their own Linux. UNetbootin can also be used to create USB drives that will load BackTrack, Ophcrack, and other utilities. The user can then run the operating system of whichever distribution they have placed on the USB without making changes to the hard drive of the device. All that is required once the USB has been created is to insert it in a computer's USB drive and boot the system from that drive. UNetbootin utilizes Syslinux to create a non-destructive install that will not format the hard drive of a device. This is a cross-platform utility that will work on Windows, MacOS, or Linux. It is also possible to use the USB you have created to install the distribution on the hard drive of a computer system. This means that you can place a Linux distribution such as Ubuntu on a USB drive and use it to run the OS without having to install the operating system on a computer. Overall Opinion: UNetbootin is a live USB creator. ![]()
