Hello,

As an updated OS is due at the end of the month,I'm debating between the Ubuntu(Gnome Version) and the Kubuntu(KDE version).

Using Ubuntu JJ,I've discovered and installed some KDE applications I like much better than Gnome's.

I have Nvidia graphics.

The Synaptic Manager notes that Canonic provides updates for KDE.

My question,if I download all the KDE stuff,is there a way I choose between using the Gnome and KDE desktops,and if so,how? Or will installing the KDE override the Gnome desktop?

I know I could compare the two using a live CD,but a side by side,back and forth comparison makes more sense for me.

--------------

Thank you.

One of the options on the login screen lets you choose what window manager/desktop is used, if you have more than one installed.
