Kubuntu is one of the oldest and most popular official Ubuntu flavors. Although it runs KDE's Plasma, it shares Ubuntu's repositories and is released on the same schedule.

The Kubuntu 23.10 release comes with KDE Plasma 5.27, KDE Frameworks 5.110, and KDE Gear 23.08. The system runs on Linux kernel 6.5, which bakes in support for WiFi 7 and MIDI 2.0.
The 23.10 "Manic Minotaur" release includes all the standard tools you'd expect from Ubuntu.
