I'm new here, so please excuse me if this question has been asked before. Also, I'm new to this whole Linux/Ubuntu etc thing, so this may be a silly question. :-)

I installed Ubuntu 14.04 on my Acer Aspire 5349 a few days ago. It now dual boots with Win 7. I find that it's very good and I quite like the GUI, but a wee bit 'jerky' on graphics rich Facebook games (using Chrome).

My question is regarding changing to Kubuntu instead. I think that I prefer the look of that, and is it possible to replace U with K? I'd rather not 'trio-boot'.

I'm not a complete techie, so please be gentle with me (!)

Definitely you can use Kubuntu. Although, I would say at this point that you only install Kubuntu besides Ubuntu and not try to replace it.

Just open your Synaptic Package manager/ Software centre and choose "Kubuntu-Desktop" package and "GDM" login manager. Install these.

Once done, you need to reboot. The system would still be dual-boot. So, on Grub, you would select Kubuntu. But, on login screen, you would be given a choice to select a session "Kubuntu" or "Ubuntu" before entering your password.

Easy.
