Linux Mint Forums

Hi there,

In Cassandra, I am trying to install KDE. However there is a package called KDE and one called Kubuntu. Which one is the better one to use ?

Thanks
C.

You could also install bianca kde and do a dist-upgrade. You might miss out on a few things, but otherwise it should be fine. I can't remember where I found it, but there is a how-to in the forums regarding this issue - perhaps even a sticky. Or, you could just wait until the cassandra edition comes out. In fact, that's what I am doing. In the interim, I am using cassandra gnome and am pleasantly surprised at how much I like it (especially since I have had problems with the kde sound system and lots of app crashes). Good luck.

Anything called Kubuntu is just a list of packages or default settings for Kubuntu.
This means you would end up with all the default settings and apps that Kubuntu has.

Yep you would be installing the whole of kubuntu, the kde version of ubuntu

Hi
I always use apt-get install kde about 180Mb.
used it on Bianca and Cassandra.

You could always wait for the new KDE edition

But, I have never had a problem installing KDE on Mint
