Ubuntu 与 Kubuntu:哪一个更适合你?
|
||||||
|
======
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
![][0]
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
> 对于 Ubuntu 和其相关版本如 Kubuntu 的选择可能会令人迷惑。那就让我们简化这个选择过程吧。
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Ubuntu 是桌面用户最选择的 Linux 发行版。其特色是一个定制的 GNOME 桌面,可以提供流畅的用户体验。振奋人心!
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
而另一方面,Kubuntu 是 [Ubuntu 发行版家族][1] 中的一员,特色在于其 **KDE Plasma 桌面**。
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
本质上,这两种发行版非常类似,主要区别在于 [桌面环境][2]。
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
_那么,它二者有何明显不同点?是否一个比另外一个更好?对于你来说,何种发行版更为适合?_
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
接下来,我们将比较下它们之间的主要不同,并提供一些基本信息以助你做出选择。
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
> 📋 本篇文章的对比依据是 Ubuntu 23.04 以及 Kubuntu 23.04。随着未来版本的发布,可能会有一些变动,我们也会持续进行更新。
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### 桌面环境
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Ubuntu 的特色在于使用了 [GNOME][3] 桌面的定制外观。对于新的 Linux 用户来说,这个布局独特且易用。
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
![Ubuntu 23.04 主屏幕截图][4]
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
它并不与 Fedora Linux 的原生 GNOME 体验完全相同。Ubuntu 的桌面环境体验经过了一些改动。
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Kubuntu 提供了原生的 [KDE Plasma][5] 体验。对于从 Windows 平台转换来的用户,布局会感到相当熟悉,包含开始菜单、系统小工具等等。
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
![Kubuntu 23.04 截图][6]
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
如果你尝试过任何其他带有 KDE Plasma 桌面的发行版,其体验应该差不多。
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
它们都是一些极为出色的 [桌面环境][7],所以,你基于各种布局、定制性和特性选择它们中的哪一个都没有什么问题。
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
为了进行更多的参考,下面是 Ubuntu 的登录页面所呈现的样子:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
![][8]
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
接下来,我们看一下带有 X11 桌面会话的 Kubuntu 登录屏幕:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
![][9]
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
此外,我为你提供了一份详细的指南,如果你想深入研究,可以参考这份 [KDE 与 GNOME][10] 的对比指南:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
> **[KDE 与 GNOME:Linux 桌面终极之选][10]**
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
> 💡 根据发行版版本,例如 [长期支持版][12](LTS)还是非 LTS,桌面环境及特征集会有所不同。
|
||||||
|
>
|
||||||
|
> 举例来说,如果你选择像 Ubuntu 23.10 或 Kubuntu 23.10 这样的非 LTS 版本,你可以获得更新的桌面版本 —— [GNOME 45][13] 或 [KDE Plasma 5.27][14]。
|
||||||
|
>
|
||||||
|
> 而对于 Ubuntu 22.04 LTS,提供的则是稍旧一些的桌面版本—— [GNOME 42][15] 或 [KDE Plasma 5.24][16]。
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### 软件管理
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
由于 Ubuntu 和 Kubuntu 其核心都是 Ubuntu(或 Debian),因此可以期待在这两个版本上安装同样的应用程序。
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
但是,你用来管理或安装应用程序的应用商店在每个版本中都是不同的。
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
![][17]
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
对于 Ubuntu,它使用 <ruby>软件中心<rt>Software Center</rt></ruby> 或者 <ruby>Ubuntu 应用中心<rt>Ubuntu App Center</rt></ruby>(从 [Ubuntu 23.10][18] 开始的新版本),默认集成了 Snap。因此,如果你更倾向于使用 Snap 而不是 Flatpak,Ubuntu 就可以提供以无缝的安装体验。
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
![][19]
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
想要使用 Flathub 的包,你可以按照我们的 [Flatpak 使用指南][20] 进行操作,但 Ubuntu 的软件管理器并未提供整合。
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
提及 Kubuntu,你得到的软件管理器是 “<ruby>发现<rt>Discover</rt></ruby>” 应用。你也可以从软件仓库以及 Snap 包中安装应用。
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
![][21]
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
与 Ubuntu 的软件商店相较,“发现”应用在轻松整合 Flatpak 方面更具**灵活性**。
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
你只需多击几下,就可以在设置菜单中通过 **Flatpak 后端插件** 在“发现”应用里列出来自 Flathub 的应用。
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
![][22]
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### 软件与功能点差异
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
有些用户更注重在特定发行版中能做什么,以及开箱即用的软件工具。
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
![Kubuntu 中的屏幕截图操作][23]
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
他们并不在意桌面布局或锁屏和登录屏幕的界面如何。他们只在乎**功能特性**,就如你在这里看到的图片展示的那样。
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
![Ubuntu 的快速切换菜单][24]
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
> 📋 可用的功能会依据发行版的版本和软件而有所不同。然而,我相信,一些让它们各自独特之处值得你了解,这些可能有助于你的选择。
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
一些重要的功能点如下:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* Kubuntu 的默认屏幕截图工具提供了注释和编辑功能,而 Ubuntu 则没有这功能。
|
||||||
|
* Kubuntu 的文件管理器比 Ubuntu 的包含更多的特性。
|
||||||
|
* 作为桌面环境选项,Kubuntu 提供了更多的预装应用。
|
||||||
|
* 相比于 Ubuntu,Kubuntu 提供了更多的外观定制选项。
|
||||||
|
* Kubuntu 默认使用 KDE “<ruby>连接<rt>Connect</rt></ruby>” 应用连接你的移动设备。你也可以在 Ubuntu 进行相同的安装以获取这个功能。
|
||||||
|
* 在 Ubuntu 上,简易化并自动化的工作空间增加功能易于改进工作流。你可以在 Kubuntu 上增加虚拟桌面,但需手动操作。
|
||||||
|
* Ubuntu 具有快捷切换到深色/浅色模式的功能。
|
||||||
|
* Ubuntu 针对经常被海量选项所困扰的用户,更加注重简单易用的操作方式。
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### 发布周期
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
如 Ubuntu 18.04 和 Ubuntu 22.04 这类的 Ubuntu LTS 版本,会在其发布之日后的**五年**内接受软件更新和安全补丁。
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
此外,如果你希望长期使用同一版本,你可以选择开通 [Ubuntu Pro 订阅][25](个人使用免费),它将为你提供**额外五年的更新支持**。
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
而对于非 LTS 版本,如 Ubuntu 22.10 和 Ubuntu 23.04,则会提供**九个月的维护更新**。
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
> 💡 对大部分用户来说,我们推荐使用 LTS 版本。只有在你准备好在九个月之后升级你的系统,以获取最新最好的软件时,才推荐尝试非 LTS 版本。
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
如果你对这些术语感到不熟,我建议你阅读我们的一些资源,深入理解发布周期:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* [Ubuntu 的生命周期终止期指的是什么?][26]
|
||||||
|
* [长期支持版是什么意思?][12]
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
总的来说,选择 Ubuntu,你可以获得**相当长的支持选项**。
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
大部分用户可能会认为,由于 Kubuntu 是 Ubuntu 的官方发行版,它们应该具有相同的更新周期。遗憾的是,**并非如此**。
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
在 Kubuntu 中,其**长期支持版从发布之日起仅支持三年**。非长期支持版的更新维护期仅为**九个月**。并无任何扩展软件更新期的选项。
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### 安装
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
不论是 Ubuntu 还是 Kubuntu,其安装过程都相当直观且易于理解。
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
你将注意到的唯一不同之处在于用户界面及其一些选项。
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
以下是 Kubuntu 的截图:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
![][27]
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
![][28]
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
尽管它们的界面有所不同,但安装过程都极其简便。
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
这里是 Ubuntu 的一个安装界面截图:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
![][29]
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
![][30]
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Ubuntu 近期发布的版本极大地改进了安装器的用户体验。所以,用户在点击步骤进行安装时,可能会觉得更加简洁明了。
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
例如,安装 Ubuntu 后,你或许可以立即选择深色或浅色模式,然而在 Kubuntu 中这样的选项并不可用。
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
![][31]
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### 系统资源使用
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
这里不会有赢家或输家,但基本上,Kubuntu 上的桌面环境(KDE Plasma)更轻量也更注重性能。
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Ubuntu 的 GNOME 则设计得直观,为你提供了顺畅的用户体验。
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
举个例子,基于我的测试,Ubuntu 在启动后会马上占用大约 **1.5 GB 的内存**:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
![][32]
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
而在 Kubuntu 中,启动后占用的内存约为 1.2 GB:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
![][33]
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
没错,Kubuntu 的系统监控看起来功能稍多一些。但这就是全部了。
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
因此,在资源使用方面,虽然你在纸面上可能观察到明显的差异,但在实践中,它可能根本不会对你产生影响。
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### 你应该选择哪个?
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
在选择一个适合日常使用的 Linux 发行版时,你的工作流以及布局都是需要考虑的因素。
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**如果你熟悉 Windows 平台,Kubuntu 应是一个好选择**(甚至是从 Windows 平台转换过来的用户)。
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**如果你理解并乐意接受 GNOME 的布局,Ubuntu 可以为你提供简单且现代的体验。**
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
但不管是哪种情况,**如果你希望能有高度的可定制性和大量实用工具,Kubuntu 会是一个理想的选择**。反而,**如果你更偏爱简约清晰的布局,选择 Ubuntu 一定不会错**。
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
💬 你更偏好哪一个 Linux 发行版,是什么让你做出这样的选择呢?

Ubuntu vs Kubuntu: Which is the Better Choice for You?
|
|
||||||
======
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Ubuntu is the most popular Linux distribution for desktop users. It features a customized GNOME desktop to provide a seamless user experience. Exciting
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
On the other hand, Kubuntu is one of the [Ubuntu flavours][1] featuring the **KDE Plasma desktop**.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
At its core, both distributions are similar, with the [desktop environment][2] as the striking difference.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
_What exactly are the differences? Is one of them better than the other? What is the perfect distro for your use-case?_
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Here, we shall highlight the key differences along with essentials to help you pick one.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
📋
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
This comparison uses Ubuntu 23.04 and Kubuntu 23.04. With future releases, there can be some differences, which we will be regularly updating.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
### Desktop Environments
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Ubuntu features a customized look using the [GNOME][3] desktop. The layout is unique for new Linux users, and yet easy to use.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
![A screenshot of Ubuntu 23.04 home screen][4]
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
It is not the same as the vanilla GNOME experience you get with the Fedora Linux. The entire desktop environment experience of Ubuntu is tweaked.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Kubuntu comes baked with a vanilla [KDE Plasma][5] experience. The layout could seem familiar to users switching away from Windows, with a start menu, system widgets, and more.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
![A screenshot of Kubuntu 23.04][6]
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
If you have tried any other distribution with KDE Plasma desktop, it will feel more or less the same.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Both are some of the [best desktop environments][7] available. So, you cannot go wrong picking one based on their layout, customizability, and features.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
To give you some more idea, here's how the log-in screen for Ubuntu looks like:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
![][8]
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
And, here's Kubuntu login screen with an X11 desktop session:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
![][9]
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Moreover, I got you! We have a detailed guide to help you compare [KDE vs GNOME][10] if you want to dive in deep:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
![][11]
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
💡
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Depending on the distro edition, i.e., [Long-Term Support][12] (LTS) or non-LTS; the desktop experience and feature-set will differ.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
For instance, with a non-LTS release like Ubuntu 23.10 or Kubuntu 23.10, you can expect a more recent desktop version [GNOME 45][13] or [KDE Plasma 5.27][14].
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
And, with Ubuntu 22.04 LTS, you get a slightly older desktop version [GNOME 42][15] or [KDE Plasma 5.24][16].
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
### Software Management
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Considering both are Ubuntu (or Debian-based) at its core, you can expect to install the same applications on both distributions.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
However, the store that you will be using to manage or install the apps in the distro is different.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
![][17]
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
For Ubuntu, it is the **Software Center** or the **Ubuntu App Center** (in newer versions starting from [Ubuntu 23.10][18]), which includes Snap integration by default. So, if you prefer using Snaps over Flatpak, Ubuntu can give you a seamless experience installing them.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
![][19]
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
To use packages from Flathub, you can follow our [guide on using Flatpak][20], but there are no baked in integration options with Ubuntu's software manager.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
When it comes to Kubuntu, you get " **Discover** " as the software manager. You get applications from the repositories and Snap packages as well.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
![][21]
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Compared to Ubuntu's software store, Discover is a bit **more flexible with an available add-on to easily integrate Flatpak**.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
All you need is a few clicks to list apps from Flathub on Discover with the **Flatpak back-end add-on** under the Settings menu.
|

||||||

### Software and Feature Differences
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
I know, some users care about what they can do in the distro, and the software utilities available out-of-the-box.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
![Taking screenshots in Kubuntu][23]
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
They aren't concerned about the layout of the desktop or the way the lock screen and log-in screen look like. Just **features** , like the ones shown in the images here.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
![Quick toggle menu on Ubuntu][24]
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
📋
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
The features available depend on the version of distribution and the software. However, I believe, you should know a couple of things that make them both stand out, which could help you choose one.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Some important ones include:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
* The default screenshot tool on Kubuntu provides annotation and edit capabilities, Ubuntu does not offer this.
|
|
||||||
* The file manager on Kubuntu has more features than the one on Ubuntu.
|
|
||||||
* Kubuntu offers more pre-installed apps as part of its desktop environment offerings.
|
|
||||||
* More appearance tweaks available on Kubuntu compared to Ubuntu.
|
|
||||||
* Ability to connect to your mobile on Kubuntu using its KDE Connect app by default. You can install the same app on Ubuntu for the functionality.
|
|
||||||
* Adding a workspace to improve workflow is easy and automated on Ubuntu. You can add 'Virtual Desktops' on Kubuntu, but you will have to add them manually.
|
|
||||||
* Quick toggle to use dark/light mode on Ubuntu.
|
|
||||||
* Ubuntu focuses on a simpler approach for users who often get overwhelmed by a plethora of options displayed.

### Release Cycle
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Ubuntu LTS editions like Ubuntu 18.04 and Ubuntu 22.04 receive software updates and security fixes for **five years** (from its release date).
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Furthermore, if you want to keep using the same version for longer, you can opt for [Ubuntu Pro subscription][25] (free for personal use) which extends **five more years of updates.**
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
And, the non-LTS versions like Ubuntu 22.10 and Ubuntu 23.04 are limited to **nine months of maintenance updates**.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
💡
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
For most users, LTS releases are recommended. You can try installing non-LTS versions only if you are ready to upgrade your system after nine months to get the latest and greatest software.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
If you are new to these terms, I suggest you go through some of our resources to understand the release cycle in detail:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
* [What is End of Life for Ubuntu?][26]
|
|
||||||
* [What is a Long-Term Support Release?][12]
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
In a nutshell, with Ubuntu, **you get a pretty long support option**.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Most users believe that just because Kubuntu is an official Ubuntu flavour, it will also receive updates for the same duration as Ubuntu.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
**Unfortunately, that is not true.**
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
With Kubuntu, the **LTS editions are supported for three years** from release. And, the non-LTS releases are maintained for **nine months**. There are no options to extend the software update duration.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
### Installation
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
The installation is easy and similar for both the distributions.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
The only differences you will notice is with the user interface, and a couple of options.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Here are a couple of screenshots for Kubuntu:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||

|
|
||||||
|

||||||

|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
It is incredibly easy to get both of them installed, no matter how they look.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Here's how Ubuntu installation looks with their modern installer:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||

|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||

|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Canonical's Ubuntu has improved the user experience for its installer in the recent releases. So, a user might find it a tad bit easier (with a modern touch) to click through the steps to install it.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
For instance, you may get the option to choose between dark/light mode right after installing Ubuntu, but not Kubuntu.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
![][31]
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
### System Resource Usage
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
I will not declare a winner here, but in general, the desktop environment (KDE Plasma) on Kubuntu is a lightweight and performance-focused.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
GNOME on Ubuntu is tailored to give you an intuitive user experience.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
To give you an idea, Ubuntu, right after boot, takes **1.5 GB of memory** when I checked using its system monitor:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
![][32]
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
When I look at the same thing on Kubuntu, it occupies 1.2 GB of memory right after boot:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
![][33]
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Sure, Kubuntu's system monitor looks a bit more functional. And, that's about it.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
So, in terms of resource usage, you might notice differences on paper, but practically, it may not bother you at all.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
### What Should You Pick?
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
When it comes to selecting a Linux distribution to daily drive, you should always consider your workflow and the layout.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
**Kubuntu should be a nice choice for users familiar with the Windows platform** (or switching away from it).
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
**Ubuntu can be a simple and modern experience** if you do not have a problem getting comfortable with its layout.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
In either case, if you are looking for **customizability and more utilities, try Kubuntu**. **** Considering you **prefer** **simplicity, you cannot go wrong with Ubuntu**.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
