<p>If you are familiar with Ubuntu and like it otherwise but don't like what have happened with Unity and that stuff you can always try Kubuntu and use KDE instead. I have done so for a long time. I love KDE and think it have a much more modern fell (not trying to start a flamewar). Still always doing a reinstall with every new release and not using the system dist upgrade with new releases. Don't think I would do that with any dist anyway.</p>

Ouch! So sorry to hear about your issue, Rinus. I've got no answers
but, I have a suggestion if you're thinking of moving to a different
distro...<br>
<br>
After being thoroughly pi**ed off with Ubuntu 11.10 (I can
begrudgingly accept Unity but, I CANNOT accept commercial links in
an OS whenever I "search"), I loaded Fedora 15, KDE. The result:
FANTASTIC! I took me awhile to understand how to get things done
with KDE but I'm now hooked :-) <br>
<br>
The only drawback is that Fedora 15 only supports DigiKam 1.9 :-(
Something to do with the KDE version, I gather. This isn't an issue
for me because F16 is due to be released in early November.
Apparently we'll be able to upgrade to the newer version of DK<br>
<br>
* I had remained current with DigiKam's upgrades while on Ubuntu due
to Philip's tremendous help by providing the PPAs. Now, however, I'm
in the dark again. Just in case F16 arrives later than expected or,
if I'm not confident in upgrading, can anybody provide some
instructions as to how to run DigiKam 2.x on F15?<br>
