Just would like to continue super.rad's question as a poll.

Gentoo! :star:

KDE is distributed unpatched, as released - so no distro-specific problems.

And, I have both KDE 3.5 and 4.1 side-by-side (I could probably also install the SVN version too, but I don't have time for that), so I can use whichever I feel like, or even mix and match.

Arch at the moment but Kubuntu seems to be catching up, I'm dual booting at the moment and have the testing version of kubuntu (Jaunty Jackalope) so hopefully will see some big improvements soon.
Although I will be trying Chakra as soon as it's released and is looking very promising at the moment http://chakra-project.org/

No official date but it's supposed to be soon, keep an eye on this thread on the KDEmod forums for any news about it

Kubuntu, a little time ago, seemed to be secondary distro, but it grew up.

But I always liked Kubuntu.

I have finally tried Arch + KDEMod and they are great. The setup was not as difficult as I previously thought as the instructions are very clear, and the wiki is amazing. Also, both the package manager (pacman) and the QT-based GUI (shaman) are great. There is a noticeable speed improvement on Opensuse/Mandriva and Kubuntu. I have previously voted for Opensuse, any one knows if I can change it to Arch.

What I like about the wiki is that it does not only tells how to do something but also explains the concepts so you are learning while tweaking.

Sorry, at this point I do not believe Mybb supports changing your vote after you have voted.
