Why the fuck does anybody use linux? Seriously. "Le Stallman and le FOSS!". Fuck you. I would use shitty knock off debian versions of actually useful software if they ever fucking worked and you didn't have to go to CLI to fucking do anything.
Fuck linuxfags and fuck this stupid penguin operating system. Privacy is a meme. I hate all of you
Kubuntu is shit. Install Gentoo and emerge plasma-desktop.
Landon Moore
Don't ever mess around with anything custom/theme/ppa shit except you are some kind of linux super pro wizard. Everthing you run outside of the distro repositories will break everything instantly. Its not like windows where you can actually do that without harm. Just keep your linux os as stock as possible if you want to actually use it.
What OP tried to do is similar to replacing explorer.exe on Windows 99% chance bad things will happen

> KDE > Kubuntu > look and feel > plasma It's almost like you did the best to fail. Please use a decent DE next time.

>kubuntu
Kubuntu is fucking shite. Should have installed Manjaro KDE instead if you were planning on using it for desktop.
Colton Cruz
What do you use?
Jayden Hill
Xubuntu XFCE + Ubuntu is an excellent combo, but I guess that XFCE works well on any distro. Most Sup Forumsentlemen use XFCE + Mint/Arch.
Ryan Garcia
If you're using Linux you should just avoid GUIs in general. They're all trash regardless of what Sup Forums tells you.
Adrian Young
Just use Mate. KDE is for kuks.
Christian Thomas
discord is available on linux
Colton Jones
YOU KNOW WHAT I MEANT

>windows can do that without harm Lolno.
William Cooper
>break anything theme related in windows >safe mode then sfc /scannow >break anything theme related in linux >lol good luck logging in
Alexander Bell
>either case you have to reinstall the OS
Leo Bailey
Wrong. That command will replace the broken files from a readonly backup. Only way you could fuck it up is if you had malware remove them or something.

Kubuntu: latest version of Ubuntu + older KDE KDE Neon: latest version of KDE + LTS Ubuntu (16.04) you can't have best of both worlds from an Ubuntu based KDE distro just switch to Manjaro KDE for best experience
Jose Harris
linux is hobbyist trash. If you really thought it would be a replacement you were pretty naive. No biggie though. Basically all it has cost you was some time.
Camden Wood
Both systems have this.
Charles Taylor
Yeah, because windows will kill itself with updates before you get the chance to do it
Parker Johnson
There is no OS that will save you from your own incompetence. Not knowing what a command will do before you do it is a pretty great way to fuck shit up
Ian Jones
dropbox has a CLI by default dummy
Oliver Robinson
lesson learned dude. I fucked my first install so bad that the GUI power button became unresponsive. Could not even logout anymore tto check if i fixed the DE. Now I just stay on MATE and follow guides...works fine
