From Kubuntu 10.04 onwards, I kept trying to get TDE to work with Kubuntu, or
with any of the 'buntus. I always ended up with problems that made the
computer unusable. Then last year my motherboard got fried by a power surge,
so I determined to start over from scratch, and install some kind of
GNU/Linux, and settled on Debian as the most stable, with the most forks and
variants, and largest community.
For the most
part, my computer is running great right now. There is this
one big problem, and the rest are just annoyances and bugs.

By ubuntu, i don't mean with unity/gnome with trinity....
Again, been there, done that. I am really liking Debian in general (except for
systemd), and cannot imagine going back to Ubuntu or Kubuntu, not even with
TDE. I only want to make the transition to Devuan, which seems to stick to
the original principles of Debian more than Debian nowadays.
Only this issue has me worried. Otherwise, there are a lot of little bugs, but
I gradually track them down and resolve them.
Nice thing about Linux (regardless one's preference for what kind): it just
gets better and better over time, as one learns how to resolve problems;
whereas with the rotten Apple or Windoze, things start off good, and the
machine runs fast, then it's all downhill from there.
