From Kubuntu to Xubuntu

Started by davebgimp · 8 months ago

I’ve been using Kubuntu for about a year and a half, having switched over from the basic Ubuntu setup. Over that time, I’ve really come to prefer KDE over Gnome. It’s some funky shit—I dig it.

    Hi Dave,

    Like your site's gfx. Glad you tried Xubuntu. I have been using it since Fiesty, and it is WAY better in Hardy. I would give it a try again if you have the spare HDD space or would like help establishing a quick setup, I would be happy to share my partitioning and tweaking knowledge if you or any of your friends are so(Xfce)inclined.

    I do have to say, about Kubuntu, and KDE, that KDE4 is quite handsome.

    That said, I prefer Xfwm4's rather sedate compositing window manager to Beryl or Compiz Fusion. I also rather like Xfce's look with the GTK+ Widget set.

    Since you're on an *Ubuntu flavour, I'll reccomend you look into this article on establishing a system-wide multiband equalizer via a LADSPA plugin called "mbeq".

    You can find the UbuntuForums thread here:

    And I gotta tell ya, I have a 2 speaker setup (A pair of Sony's from a High End Trinitron Set (I know, I know, weird choice, but they sound good and I'm a broke Audiophile, hehehe try COWON iAudio)) and I have now heard the CLEANEST, most SEPERATED Audio Nirvana I've ever heard, and that's saying a lot cuz I used to go to dance parties and was a SpeakerWhore who's since moved on to stuff like Headroom, COWON, V-Moda Bass Freq, Grado, Etymotic, Yuin, Etc, Etc.

    Just liked your site from a random Google search and had to share. Visit amot.wordpress.com for some randumb tidbits that may interest you.

    Best,
