New to Kubuntu

[chimak111]

I'm totally new to Kubuntu. I've been using it for just a couple of days although I've used Unity, Xfce, and Lxde in the past few years.

My laptop is a Dell Inspiron with an i3 processor, integrated graphics and 8GB RAM. It's running the Kubuntu desktop fairly decently. (The laptop originally came with Ubuntu 16.04 pre-installed to which I added kubuntu-desktop.)

I have a lot of questions which I'll try to post in the relevant sub-forums once I get sufficient posting privileges.

Welcome to the forums!!

since I have my own particular twist on things I read this from my kitchen while making coffee and wave an airmouse ...also have a keyboard on the stove...not in the fridge!!

you will find that everybody else here, with the exception of Matilda and myself, to be very helpful.
