I have installed KDE on my Ubuntu 12.04 before, and it worked fine for me until I tried to update it. When I tried to update, the Ubuntu Software Center broke, and I can't install anything.

I have asked this on this site but no one answered it. Then I have installed Ubuntu 13.04, and I want to know is it safe and stable to install GNOME 3.8 on my Ubuntu?

I have been running Gnome-shell 3.8 from the Gnome3 Team PPA (https://launchpad.net/~gnome3-team/+archive/gnome3) for a number of months now without issue.

If you already have gnome-shell installed, then running the following commands should upgrade to 3.8: 

sudo apt-add-repository ppa:gnome3-team/gnome3
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

OMG! Ubuntu! has a detailed article on installing Gnome 3.8 in Ubuntu: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2013/04/gnome-3-8-ppa-for-ubuntu-gnome
