The Desktop
The default desktop environment for Kubuntu is KDE, a leading UNIX and Linux desktop suite and development platform.
Another leading UNIX and Linux desktop is Gnome. Kubuntu does not make use of the Gnome desktop by default. However, the Ubuntu project offers Kubuntu users a choice between these two excellent desktop environments. Thanks to the efforts of the Ubuntu team, Kubuntu users are able to install and use the Gnome desktop easily on their system. The Gnome desktop can be found in and downloaded from the main Ubuntu archive. The easiest way to get a working install of Ubuntu is sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop. This will install the different packages required and set everything up correctly.
After everything is installed, one can choose which environment to use: either KDE or Gnome.
