 @Anarcho Taoist, Yes, install the NVidia drivers as they will provide a much better experience.
 NVidia is proprietary.   But drivers work very well.
 Occasionally NVidia releases a driver on less popular or older cards that have a few quirks, but still better experience than the open source driver.
 Which version Kubuntu and which NVidia card do you have?
 If you have a hybrid laptop (Intel and NVidia), things are a little more "adventurous".
[14:37] <JonelethIrenicus> after upgrading my system tray isn't showing up
[14:38] <JonelethIrenicus> i try and add the widget again like normal but it doesn't do anything
[18:04] <neoncontrails> Recent convert from regular GNOME3 ubuntu and loving it so far, but one minor pain point so far...
[18:04] <neoncontrails> Coming from Guake, I installed Yakuake drop-down terminal. It works but only occupies half the width of the screen?
[18:05] <neoncontrails> I found some themes that scale the UI elements for HiDPI screens... they do that, but they do not augment the window width. 100% width still equals 50% screen width
[18:06] <neoncontrails> I also found some possible solutions that set the value of QT_SCREEN_SCALE_FACTORS manually, but I can't tell that these have made a difference with any of my apps
[18:06] <neoncontrails> Any suggestions? I'm starting to run out of ideas

[23:01] <ozbrk> u19809: and are you trying to install it as a dual boot
[23:03] <u19809> By default my PC boots using UEFI but I enabled Legacy (cannot disable UEFI) but does not seem to help. No I do not need dual boot
