All,

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.
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?

Thanks
Peter

So I prefer KDE but EPID and YMMV.
