At my work we had to install a Linux distribution to replace Windows XP. We liked KDE but we only had to use CDs. So we chose Lubuntu and now we want KDE. Is there any way we can install KDE. Will it erase any applications that have been installed (LibreOffice, VirtualBox,Code::Blocks IDE, and Filezilla). Thank you in advance.

Panther over 9 yearsThere is no need to use a ppa. I advise kubuntu-desktop to new users. the other options, IMO, are for more advanced users.

ethanc820 over 9 yearsI will be trying the kde-full, we don't need the extra add-ons that Kubuntu has. I didn't vote up because my reputation is too low.

ethanc820 over 9 yearsIf this doesn't work we still have all of the Lubuntu install CDs that we made.

hwez over 9 yearsyou can also remove them by $ sudo apt-get purge kde-full or the kde-plasma desktop just change the kde-full or sudo apt-get autoremove kde-full
