I would like to change my username on my Kubuntu install and I would just like to know if it will have any negative impact on the system for example programs that will no longer function because of username change etc.
I will find the commands myself I just wanted to know if it will cause any issues, otherwise I will just leave it as is.
Thanks

As far as I am aware, the user information is tied to the UID rather than the actual username itself.
This means that a lot of the information will be updated automatically.
You may have to rename the home directory and any groups but as I'm on my mobile it's a little difficult for me to check that.
