It seems may use this opportunity to recommend an Ubuntu derivative. I'm very happy with Netrunner-OS[1]. It come with KDE and gets "sane defaults" right. AdBlocker, YT-downloaders, codecs, etc. -- all pre-installed.

And they also gave it some thought to make sure it looks good out of the box.

All Unity-refuge-seeking, but otherwise Ubuntu (Debian++) lovers should have a look at it. :)

#57 today on: http://distrowatch.com/ and stable/not moving up in popularity. Plenty of good other distros to try? If you like KDE, maybe Kubuntu 14.04? The problem with random distros is that unless you are the maintainer, they may not stay up-to-date. How many people are maintaining it and how up-to-speed are they in the overall community to stay atop security?

Coming from Kubuntu; and waaaaay better then that. Differences:

* most sane defaults ever found on a distro * installs load of extra privacy/ convenience plugins in Firefox by default * got all codecs build in from installation

This distro just feels a lot more solid then Kubu ever did to me.
