Kubuntu

For people who like the Windows layout but want to bend it to their own taste. Kubuntu pairs Ubuntu's huge software base with the KDE Plasma desktop, whose taskbar, app launcher and system tray sit where a Windows user expects them, and almost every part of it can be moved or restyled. Kubuntu 26.04 LTS ships Plasma 6.6 and, like the other Ubuntu flavors, is maintained for three years, with the funded Bullet-Proof KDE effort committed to fixing its Plasma bugs over that span. That is shorter than Ubuntu Desktop's five years, so plan on an upgrade around 2029.
