Distributive

Kubuntu

Official Ubuntu flavour with KDE: customizable, functionality with solid design on Qt technologies for effective work and complete GUI experience. Work out of the box, perfect in skillful hands. Best choice if your switches from Windows/Mac OS X. For skeptics. It makes sense to try again, if you judge from the experience of working with previous generations of KDE 3 & 4, the project has reached a qualitatively new level of technology and is the most lightweight and fast-acting DE, since consumes less memory after system start than Xfce/LXDE.
