    Begin to start to commence the spring distro testing season! We open with a long, thorough review of Kubuntu 18.04 Bionic Beaver, tested in a mixed multi-boot Windows and Linux setup on a laptop with UEFI and GPT, covering live session, installation and post-install use and tweaks, including look & feel, fonts, networking support and many associated troubles with Wireless connectivity, Bluetooth, Samba sharing and printing, multimedia support - HD video and MP3 playback, smartphone support - Android, iPhone, Windows Phone, partitioning, package management and updates, applications, hardware compatibility, webcam, proprietary drivers, suspend & resume, stability, resources, performance, severe desktop hangs due to Baloo indexing, application crashes, various visual niggles and bugs, other problems, customization, and more. Enjoy.

    Has someone tried to encrypt /home partition from the installer? No way for me, it always crashed and I had to encrypt home folder after the installation (which is not exaclty the same thing).
