installing or switching to Gnome

[STRAT3Gy]

Ive never been a fan of KDE so my question is this. Can i use Gnome in Kubuntu instead of KDE. And if so, do i need to install new packets or is it natively there.

Thanks. With love, StRAT3gY

Setting aside the question of "What the hell are you doing with Kubuntu if you don't like KDE?", if disk space is not an issue, Ctrl-Alt-F1 out of the GUI, log in there, and

sudo service kdm stop

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install gnome

sudo shutdown -r now

When it reboots, on the login "greeter", there's a little menu. Click that and it should offer you the Gnome desktop to log into.
