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.
