This chapter covers various KDE-based distros. Despite KDE being the most widely used desktop environment, some Linux distros offer a better implementation of KDE. Kubuntu is made with the latest KDE desktop on a solid Ubuntu core. The Ubuntu operating system is an official flavor that uses the KDE Plasma Desktop instead of the GNOME desktop environment. The Ubuntu project Kubuntu uses the underlying system. “Kubuntu” is a trademark held by Canonical Foundation. Kubuntu is built on following a widespread naming convention of prefixing K to the name of software released for use on KDE platforms and the KDE community. Kubuntu was come into the market on December 10, 2004 at the Ubuntu Mataro Conference in Mataró, Spain. Canonical Foundation employee Andreas Mueller, from Gnoppix, had the idea to make an Ubuntu KDE variant called as Kubuntu.
