Don't forget that Kubuntu introduce more KDE bug than they fix. If you want something that is stable for day to day use, use Gentoo, Arch, Mandriva or OpenSUSE.

KDE 4.3.0 Release Candidate Goes Wild

got openSUSE 11.1 x86-64 installing on my pretty new K10 right now. With the newfound horsepower (previously had an AthlonXP 2600+), I'll probably give Gentoo another go (already have a partition set aside). For right now, though, openSUSE's 1-Click Install is a lot easier than a portage/paludis overlay (even if it IS more than "one" click).

I've been using KDE 4.2 on my laptop and one thing really drives me insane - programs started via keyboard shortcuts don't get focus even if focus-stealing is completely turned off, and sometimes they end up behind other windows.
I used to have it on my desktop too, but that one bug was enough to make me go back to xfce.

This new KDE version is really grate!

Arch is a great distro to learn, but I would really like a distribution like Arch (rolling release) but with the ease of use of Kubuntu or others.

I also like the Arch KISS philosophy and the fact that it is a rolling distribution, but whenever I want to do something new, like hear music, I have to load the snd drivers, if I want to print, I have to install/load Cups and the printer drivers, if I want to measure the cpu temperature I have to load the corresponding modules, etc... It is a bit tedious.

If you have a lot of modules you have to modprobe, you should consider adding them to /etc/modules. Should also work for Arch. Just a tip

I mean that the first time you must load the modules and daemons manually. It is a bit tired having to always do that in a new installation, sadly there isn't any nice hardware detection, you know, plug-n-play... it's not a distribution that you can recommended to any person.

i've also noticed that KDE 4 packages on arch seem more stable then other KDE 4 based distro's i've tried.
