hi there, ive got a nice completely new thinkpad that is running ubuntu. i much prefer mint xfce but it just wouldnt run on it. ubuntu seems very solid and clean, but i really miss how customizable xfce was.
the friend who helped me install it says i can just add a kubuntu desktop on top of the ubuntu that is already there, and he gave me a few simple commands to do it which i could probably do. (god willing) he said i didnt have to completley reinstall everything and it would be more like mint. i dont totally understand exactly how desktops interchange like that.
can anyone help me understand if this just adding a desktop will actually make enough difference, or should i just completely start over. its working flawlessly as it is, i just miss being able to play around with stuff more.
so will it work to just add a kubuntu desktop on top of the ubuntu i already have, or should i start over fresh? im about to leave the country and wont know anyone who works on linux for a long time, so trying to get it all solid before i go. thanks so much for any advice
