Originally posted by moonwalker View PostJust as the name implies, the only difference between LTS and non-LTS releases of Ubuntu is that for LTS Canonical provides bug fixes, security updates and commercial support for longer term than for non-LTS versions, otherwise both are derived from Debian Unstable in exactly the same way. In other words, difference between two is only in release cadence and support duration, not in the method of production.

Originally posted by steveriley View PostPerhaps years ago Kubuntu might have been problematic, but that would be before my time with it. I've been using it since 11.04 and every time I try something else, I always end up returning. Partly out of familiarity, of course -- I can make dpkg sing in ways that I don't want to reinvest the time elsewhere. But also because Kubuntu now provides the closest thing we have to a vanilla KDE experience lightly touched so that everything just works. Of course, as an admin of the Kubuntu forum, I'll admit that my position is probably not free of bias

However, I don't know if you are updating Soprano, Akonadi, and s-d-o in sync with KDE, or if you are still freezing them; that is another HUGE source for trouble I knew about Kubuntu.
Strigi is long gone... http://vhanda.in/blog/2012/11/nepomuk-without-strigi/

But in the case of nutcases like Honton or Panix I personally believe that it is their inability to properly set up and maintain a Linux system.

I've been using nVidia binary drivers on Kubuntu for four years now, and haven't encountered any stability issues or brokenness. I always use the Xorg-Edgers PPA for the most up-to-date graphics stack and drivers, and use only apt-get and do-release-upgrade to manage system updates and release upgrades. Works flawlessly.
