Isn't Mint one of Ubuntu variants?

d99kris• 11 years ago

It's Ubuntu-based, true. I guess the Ubuntu poll option could have been more explicitly stating the variants. Anyway, I was referring to the distributions listed on http://releases.ubuntu.com/ i.e. Edubuntu, Kubuntu, Lubuntu, Mythbuntu, Ubuntu GNOME, UbuntuKylin, Ubuntu MATE, UbuntuStudio, Xubuntu.

Fedora 22 with KDE Plasma. Works great for me. The repositories have damn close to everything I ever need, especially if you add the RPMFusion repos. And with the latest kernel upgrade that came down, it works surprising well on a pretty wimpy laptop, even running heavyweight Java apps like Eclipse and JBoss. And now that I committed to switching back to KDE (I used to use it, then got away from it for a while) I'm really falling in love with KDE again. This is fairly close to a perfect desktop experience to me.
