In February I switched to Mint after frustrations with Windows, Mint was nice but it always felt very rough around the edges from a UI perspective. I felt it was missing many bells and whistles.

I was looking to try a good KDE Linux and went for the latest Kubuntu and I love it.
The look and feel is so clean.

It's not without issues, I had to fight driver issues for a good while and my laptop speakers still don't work but my headset and speakers etc. immediately worked.
