I felt like I really should try out Kubuntu because I find myself using many KDE applications more than their Gnome counterparts: Amarok, KTorrent, and most recently I’ve tried digiKam. They all seem to have far more functionality than the default programs in Ubuntu.

This seems to be the common knowledge among users as well. KDE and its native applications are more feature-packed than Gnome and its native applications, but therefore they are more complicated and not necessarily recommended for beginners.

Upon startup of my KDE session I was a bit wary because I had grown accustomed to the nice, clean, simple design of the default Gnome desktop in Ubuntu. I’m sure that wariness will fade in time.

More later, when I have had a chance to play around a bit.
