Happy go lucky me: A long, super enthusiastic review of Kubuntu 17.04 Zesty Zapus installed on an HP Pavilion laptop in a dual-boot configuration with Windows 7, covering installation, proprietary drivers - Intel microcode, Broadcom Wireless and Nvidia graphics, excellent overall hardware support, resource usage, performance, responsiveness, suspend & resume, system updates, extra software, media support, smartphone support - Android and Windows Phone, KDE Connect, Bluetooth, webcam, extensive and fun customization, fonts, zero problems, and more. Sounds perfect, so. Take a look. https://www.dedoimedo.com/computers/hp-pavilion-kubuntu-zesty.html Cheers, Mrk
The next LTS version of Ubuntu is not long off! And hopefully, with the death of Unity, offers more spit and polish for KDE and GNOME.
