In February I switched to Mint after frustrations with Windows, Mint was nice but it always felt very rough around the edges from a UI perspective. I felt it was missing many bells and whistles.

I was looking to try a good KDE Linux and went for the latest Kubuntu and I love it.
The look and feel is so clean.

It's not without issues, I had to fight driver issues for a good while and my laptop speakers still don't work but my headset and speakers etc. immediately worked.

Thanks solid advice.

I do care about why people don't like cononical, but it's a marathon not a sprint.

Every step in the right direction is a win.

I really want to find a nice distro that just works and that I can eventually switch friends and family onto.

It might not be the MOST ethical or best distro, but it's better than Microsoft and to me that's enough.
