Kubuntu
Ahhh Linux. The only operating system that’s decently good.
I recently installed Kubuntu on a few of my systems because of a recommendation I got from my friend, and I have to say it rocks. The package manager is simply awesome, I was able to get the Nvidia drivers installed within minutes (took much longer in past experiences). The software repository is huge, and contains lots of what you’ll ever need for a good operating environment. The theme is cool, it seems that they’ve modified KDE to look nicer. Buttons now fade smoothly in and out, and the control panel is neatly organized kind of like OS X style. Wireless and wires networking is made easy, it’s just a little icon in your task bar. When you click on it, it lets you choose from a list of networks or just a wired connection.
The only real complaint I have about this system is the super user workings. It just runs off of the current user’s password (if they’re set under the right group), so basically, there is no root user. Sure, I bet you could enable it, but I just think this behavior is a bit annoying for a multi-user system. Other than that, though, it’s the Linux system I’ll be using for most of my PCs from now on.
