Transform your Ubuntu 12.04 into modern Kubuntu

If you're dissatisfied with your Ubuntu Desktop 12.04, and wanna try something new, there is an easy way to transform it to Kubuntu with KDE 4.9 SC.

Just open terminal and type:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:kubuntu-ppa/backports

then confirm to add this new repo to your system. After that type

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop

When you are asked for login manager, I suggest you to choose KDM.

Thats all. After the installation finished, reboot your computer and choose KDE Plasma Desktop before login.
