Kubuntu Zesty is shaping up to be a perfect distro

Max respect when respect is due. Engage fanboy thrusters. Behold a short, extremely enthusiastic article summarizing several months of Kubuntu 17.04 Zesty Zapus usage, with near-perfect results, including great aesthetics, continuous improvements, excellent media and smartphone support, great performance, rock-solid stability, tons of features and goodies, plus an optimistic message for the future. Best of all, this smacks of genuine professionalism. Take a look.

yeap, let's hope it's different this time

thanks for the article.

 

Plasma 5.85 LTS is only available on Neon.

Hopefully, the next LTS release will provide a superior experience.

 

If you enable the kubuntu backports ppa in Kubuntu 16.04 (Xenial), you'll be having KDE Plasma: 5.8.7, KDE Frameworks: 5.36.0, and Qt: 5.6.1.

See https://www.kubuntuforums.net/showt...-updates-now-in-backports-PPA-for-Zesty-17-04 even though it mentions Zesty.

 

' ... and a fully workable Bluetooth connectivity, which no other distro offers.'

Wow, now I'm impressed.

 

Mint Cinnamon did this too, and so did Fedora Gnome recently.
Not quite as pretty though.

I've more or less given up on Bluetooth working properly in Ubuntu. I even bought a Lenovo laptop preinstalled with Trusty LTS knowing full well the Bluetooth was dodgy. Maybe by April 2019 things will have changed lol.
