Feedback:

From KUPOinyourWindow Via YouTube:

I recently switched to Linux on my Macbook, first to Ubuntu. I really enjoyed it but I had a few irritations with it too. Then a few days ago I switched to Kubuntu and I love it. It's literally THE distro for me. I hope it's future is solid.

Dear Kubuntu developers,

In my own 35 years of ICT career and as a long time Linux/Gnome user, Kubuntu 15.10 is the most professional, intelligent and beautiful Desktop I have ever seen. It transcends any other desktop environment.

It is the perfect example of people that show that they love and know their profession.

Thank you very much for this beauty!

What more can I say, except that I hope Kubuntu also to be fully fledged available on most tablets and smartphones soon.

Maarten
