I'm looking for a distribution that allows you to use KDE to control any aspect of your system. It should also have taken care of things like theming GTK applications so they do not look out of place when run under KDE. It goes without saying that crashes while using KDE should be zero. In other words, I'm looking for a distribution that feels like it was made with KDE in mind from the ground up. I've tried Kubuntu and honestly, KDE feels like a second class citizen there. I'm talking an experience similar or better than OpenSuse 11.2. I'm talking a KDE distribution with not just the kinks ironed out, but one with polish. Does this bring any distribution to mind? |

open suse is probably the best kind of user friendly anty-idiot distro ;) you should also look at mint linux, i don't think you can find better polish-kde-out-of-box then open suse but it comes with the price of small customization and software bloat, if you want good kde you should do it yourself i mean clean installation (arch or debian net-install or slack or something like that) and couple hours of love |

A little of an overkill answer, but I would suggest the following: - If you want a full list of distributions that use KDE as the primary graphical interface, have a look at following link, and sort by the last column so that all KDE ones will be grouped together (scroll down, it's a long list): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_Linux_distributions#Technical - I've heard good things of MEPIS (SimplyMEPIS), Mandriva (despite recent financial troubles) and Sabayon in addition to the ones already suggested by others - If you're interested in some that have a "Windows look", try Linspire and Xandros too - As per reliability, your mileage might vary, but Sabayon seems to be the one with KDE always in mind but, as you will see from the following link, things change with time and a couple of years ago the "picture" was quite different, with Kanotix and Sidux being the top choices: http://www.kdedevelopers.org/node/3016/results |

Kubuntu is the best for my money !!! The ease of ubuntu set up perfectly for kde |

I think openSUSE..although I had dump it for different reason and not using it anymore.Last used version was 11.2. Their forums are pathetic to be in.But openSUSE is glue with KDE and score above all I suppose. Cheers mate! |

You see? Too many people answering your question with Slackware not to take them seriously, and pointing out the problems with all the ubuntus. You should take their advice and use Slackware. Gotta agree with you there. I haven't given Slackware a go, but I probably will.

UPDATE: I am now on OpenSuse 11.3. That's KDE 4.4.4 with complete control over your system from within KDE. The bar is now MUCH higher and unless there is something that at least a few people are in agreement that is WAY better than OpenSuse, I'm going to stick with it for now, while keeping an eye on Slackware, Mandriva and PCLinuxOS. Thank you all for your replies.
