I have ubuntu 13.04 and windows 7. I heard that kubuntu is more like windows, so I wanted to try it. Is it possible to triple boot them? If it is can you tell me how to. I have installed ubuntu on a partition.

  • In my opinion, LXDE is closer to Windows than KDE, but that's just my opinion...

  • Ok thanks. I just thought I read a lot of other sites that said kubuntu is closer. Do you know how to triple boot though. Sep 26, 2013 at 23:49
  • I personally don't think you need to, you can install the KDE environment inside of Ubuntu 13.04 alongside it without actually messing with the hard drive partitions. Saves you the headache of dealing with partitioning for a triple boot environment.

    Check this question out: askubuntu.com/questions/228503/… Much easier than triple booting ;) (@psusi Wouldn't you consider this a duplicate of that?)

There is no need to dual boot between ubuntu and kubuntu. You can simply install Ubuntu and if you also want to try kubuntu, you just install the kubuntu-desktop package and can select between the two desktops when you log in.

  • @askubuntu7639, the command line is sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop

  • dude what just happened I downloaded kubuntu desktop and I restarted my computer and it gave me the option to boot kubuntu or windows. Then I selected kubuntu and booted it. It booted fine but it opened into ubuntu. Why did that happen? And also how do I use the kubuntu packages that were downloaded. Sep 29, 2013 at 20:25
  • Should I ask another question about this? Sep 29, 2013 at 20:39
  • @askubuntu7639, log out, and when you log in there is an option to choose which desktop you want to use for this session.
