Typically you can use a small gear icon to switch the window manager on the login page before pressing enter or clicking the button to login. My Fedora desktop has KDE Plasma, Gnome, Mint, and Cinnamon, of which Gnome is my least favorite. It seems designed for a touch screen or tablet. You can run KDE/Gnome apps on Mint, Cinnamon, etc if it's installed even if you're not running it. </div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:tahoma,sans-serif;font-size:small;color:#3333ff">JD</div><div><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><span style="font-size:small">--</span><br style="font-size:small">

I have been using Ubuntu as one of my desktops for a while, but
have always been irritated by how difficult it is to do customize
things.<br>
I was thinking of trying KDE, but do I have to re-install a new
Kubuntu O/S to have KDE or is there a way to install the KDE
desktop on my Ubuntu 20.04 (Gnome) desktop?<br>
<br>
Thanks<br>

KDE is very, very customizable. GNOME 3 is ... not. There has
been a remarkable amount of continuity in how KDE's applications
have behaved (and looked, if you want) since KDE 2. And no, not
every application starts with a K these days. Default file
manager is dolphin not konqueror, default image viewer is gwenview
not kview, default screenshot taker is spectacle not kscreenshot.
So I prefer KDE but EPID and YMMV.
