I just moved to to MXlinux 25 with KDE from Kubuntu on my desktop after testing MXlinux 23 with XFCE on my laptop. I'm not happy with the direction the *buntus are going with systemd and snaps. I also may be a bit biased as a former Mepis User. Otherwise, I've enjoyed my time on Kubuntu. Choice is the main point of linux. Use whatever you want or roll your own if you're motivated. But we all know good programmers are lazy.

However, I will wait until Mint incorporates it into their next LTS release before I do anything with it as daily use (and even then, I will test in a VM first to make sure it works well for my needs on my hardware).

I don't like the Gnome desktop and have not had good experiences with Ubuntu main since I tried 12.04 and 14.04 (I skipped 16.04, and 18.04 also did not work for me). Kubuntu is my back-up OS so I may upgrade that to 26.04
