    Making the switch from Ubuntu to Kubuntu

    Hello everyone, brand new to the forum and semi-new to Linux.

    I left Windows a few weeks ago, switching to Ubuntu (which I've toyed with now & then over the past 10 years), and heard good things about Kubuntu, so I'm seriously looking at installing it.

    My question is:
    Install over Ubuntu or clean install?

    Really is a ‘what you want to do’ issue. Myself, and many here (likely) would opt for a clean installation. If you have the drive space, create another partition or two and install to that, keeping Ubuntu. Options. Linux is all about options.
    Windows no longer obstructs my view.
    Using Kubuntu Linux since March 23, 2007.

      Clean install. Avoids for example possible problems due to old/incompatible user settings or cache files.

      And Welcome.
