From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Would this mean switching to Kubuntu? (still kinda new to this world)
It can mean that, but you can also install it on normal Ubuntu.
For the whole enchilada,
sudo apt install kde-full
No. You can just do
sudo apt install kde-minimal
orsudo apt install kde-full
. If you see a popup asking you to select SDDM or GDM, select GDM for GNOME to still have the screen lock function.Then log out, click your user, click on the ⚙️ and select Plasma. Now just log in and you can do this again if you want to go back to GNOME.
Ah very nice, I appreciate the explainer, thank you.
Hey just a heads up. Installing gnome and kde side by side can result in a lot of weirdness like fonts messing up. It would be better to save your home partition and move to kubuntu or another kde specific platform.
If youre going to be switching distros anyways, I recommend tuxedoOS, it's based on Ubuntu but does a few thing to make it a better experience.
