Kubuntu and it’s Repositories →

Unfortunately, with the number of Kubuntu ppa repositories available and the migration of some KDE SC versions to Ubuntu’s Backports, there can be some confusion on what each is for. So below I will briefly describe what each of them contains and what they are for.
Interesting read if you’re new to Kubuntu.
ExtraLife: Ubuntu 10.04 - Questionable redesign →
I’m aware that new things take time to get used to, but sometimes changes seem to be introduced just for the sake of changes being introduced.
Canonical decided to place window controls in the left corner of the window in the new Ubuntu Lucid Lynx. Is this new? Hell no, OS X is configured…

I’m not sure I like these new changes to the next version of Ubuntu. First they changed the default search engine in 10.04 from Google to Yahoo, clearly only for the financial benefit with little or no regard for the end user experience, and now this.
