KDE scared me, mostly because I'm new and unfamiliar with it. I set it up on a flash-drive to try it out and all the desktop had was one icon that said "Install". My hard drive runs both Ubuntu and Winslows. I would like to try KDE before doing any permanent install. How do I do this?

  • You booted the flash drive with KDE in "Try KDE" mode, and once it boots, you're running KDE. Try it out from there. It'll be a little slower than if you ran from a HDD/SDD, but it's the full KDE environment. – heynnema Jul 23 '17 at 22:02

  • @DavidFoerster From very recent personal experience, I wouldn't recommend adding KDE to a system already running Unity to a newcomer which is what I assume the questioner to be. I mostly agree with https://askubuntu.com/a/680006/248158 even though the answer maybe a little scary. – DK Bose Jul 24 '17 at 01:33

Kickoff is the default application launcher in Kubuntu that provides a click-through interface for finding and launching applications. The Kickoff icon is located in the bottom panel at the bottom left corner of the Kubuntu desktop. Kickoff has a search facility, allowing you to type the name of the application or its description to find it.
