How to move to KDE?

Question

i use Ubuntu 12.04 with GNOME as default desktop environment. How to remove GNOME and install KDE as desktop environment ?

I personally prefer gnome, work in it is just faster with gnome shell and it's window management, but it's is very individual. You can install KDE next to the Gnome and test it without removing Gnome jet. — tikend, Jul 01 '13 at 12:32

"And tell me which is better among KDE and GNOME" is a subjective question and possible flame war >:-) — Rinzwind, Jul 01 '13 at 12:34
