Love The KDE (Score: 0) by Anonymous Coward on 2014-06-17 17:21 (#24S) This sounds similar to SolydK/SolydXK perhaps?I went through looking for decent KDE-based distributions and against my inclinations ended up liking Kubuntu most of all. I didn't want to give any extra eyeballs to Canonical but it's really the most useful one I tried. All the others were either flaky or lacking in sufficient user base to make them sustainable.

I'm an opensuse guy and have been since SUSE 7.1 (2001 or so). I find opensuse usually does nice work with stock KDE, while Kubuntu has some rough edges. But that's my experience/preference, and I admit not everybody is into the somewhat heavy install footprint of opensuse.

I just checked out soldkx and discovered some software I'd never heard of, packaged as part of their "back office" product:Internal information streams with SeedDMS.Employee management with OrangeHRM.Customer relations, and leads with Zurmo.Build and manage a professional site with Typo3.Invoicing with SiWapp.Wasn't aware of any of these - will be checking them out! That's what I love about sites like this. Re: Love The KDE (Score: 0) by Anonymous Coward on 2014-06-17 23:24 (#256) Glad to help! I stayed away from Suse mostly because of the MS chumminess, but it does seem to have retained its fan base and seems a bit more exciting than Redhat.I had very high hopes for Mint but they don't lavish much attention on KDE and their upgrade policy is medieval. There are several nice little obscure distros -- PCLinuxOS, Mageia, Sabayon, Chakra -- but after trying most of them I ended up with Kubuntu because it worked better.
