<trademark>KDE</trademark> is similar to <phrase>GNOME</phrase> in many ways, but there are distinct differences which distinguish <trademark>KDE</trademark> as a desktop environment. <trademark>KDE</trademark> uses <trademark>C++</trademark> as its base with the <trademark>Qt</trademark><acronym>GUI</acronym> toolkit, while <phrase>GNOME</phrase> uses the <abbrev>GTK</abbrev><acronym>GUI</acronym> toolkit and is written in <trademark>C</trademark>. <trademark>KDE</trademark> is the older of the two and puts more emphasis on features and usability. <phrase>GNOME</phrase> prides itself on simplicity and ease of use. The common criticism of <phrase>GNOME</phrase> is that it is lacking in features and applications, while the most common complaint about <trademark>KDE</trademark> is that it has too many features.

<trademark>KDE</trademark> and <phrase>GNOME</phrase> are intended to appeal to different audiences, and are fundamentally different in some respects. The question of which desktop environment is best is a subjective individual judgment. Users who are unsure are advised to try them both. It is very easy to install <phrase>GNOME</phrase> from <trademark>Kubuntu</trademark>, and equally easy to install <trademark>KDE</trademark> in <trademark>Ubuntu</trademark>.

<trademark>Ubuntu</trademark> users may think that their favorite <phrase>GNOME</phrase> applications will not run under <trademark>Kubuntu</trademark>; this is not the case. Much work has been done to ensure compatibility between <phrase>GNOME</phrase> and <trademark>KDE</trademark>. All <phrase>GNOME</phrase> applications will run under <trademark>KDE</trademark>, and vice versa.

Users wanting to try <trademark>Kubuntu</trademark> may be concerned that <trademark>KDE</trademark> will become their only desktop once it is installed. This is not so. While there are good reasons for <trademark>KDE</trademark> to be the desktop of choice, both desktop session types can be run after installing <trademark>Kubuntu</trademark>. Furthermore, during the installation, there is a choice between using the <application><trademark>GNOME</trademark> Display Manager</application> (<abbrev>GDM</abbrev>) or the <application><trademark>KDE</trademark> Display Manager</application> (<abbrev>KDM</abbrev>) as the login manager. Either display manager will work equally well.

After installation, either <phrase>GNOME</phrase> or <trademark>KDE</trademark> session types can be run, so users are free to try either, switching based on personal preference. The only noticeable difference is the artwork displayed before login.
