Hi, thanks for your efforts. Is it 64 bit or 32 bit? Can't use 32 bit isos, stuck with 64 bit only UEFI system :(

How about a 64 bit (working :P ) kubuntu-active iso as well?

This is a 64 bit ISO, I reckon I should clarify that in the naming, I'll fix it with the next ISO's , please do let me know how it goes with EFI systems, we're planning on moving the ISO building infrastructure to the same one as Ubuntu, so we'll get full EFI support as soon as that happens ( in a few weeks I guess )

shadeslayer, how about a PPA for testing Plasma 5 in Kubuntu 14.04? I'd love to try it, but rebooting seems a great inconvenience :)

Sorry, but I don't see that happening since that would involve backporting Qt 5.3 as that is what upstream advises to use with Plasma 5, and backporting Qt5 is a huge hassle and a even bigger hassle to maintain the packages for the lifetime of the 14.04 release. However, fear not! You can try out Neon 5 which is built for Trusty! See https://techbase.kde.org/Getting_Started/Using_Project_Neon_...
