I came across Maui whilst exploring Distrowatch and was intrigued with the idea of an Ubuntu based Neon KDE distro, so took the plunge and downloaded the iso. I must say I am pleased I did as Maui has gone for a distinctive, and I would say brave, look that sets it apart from other KDE distros I have used.
Everything looks fresh and pleasing to the eye. A lot of thought must have gone into this and I believe it has payed off well. The icons are on the large size, but I think this adds to the look. I come from a mainly openSUSE background so for integration and look to impress me is a very good sign. I haven't come across anything that is a deal breaker in spite of having the latest Plasma and apps.... wow! I would have prefer Amarok to Gmusicbrowser but that is personal taste and is easily sorted! Nvidia drivers were very easy to download using Synaptic; my favoured deb package manager, so bonus points for that too!!
Having Dashboard as default is also excellent. I haven't actually used it before and was pleasantly surprised how easy and intuitive it is.
Any bad points? well apart from my preference of Amarok nothing springs to mind.
So well done to all those involved, I will be sticking around as this is very promising.
