You should try MEPIS, which is a KDE build of UBUNTU. It is even easier and more user friendly and “just works” right out of the box than UBUNTU.
I will try it although Ubuntu also worked for me without any tweaking at all. Thanks.
MEPIS is really good. I've been using it off and on for years (using it right now on my Dell Latitude laptop). But it's not a build of Ubuntu; it was around long before Ubuntu ever showed up.
