Mint is nice, but when I put it on this machine about one in three times it would not recognize the USB keyboard and mouse. Damned difficult to log in under those circumstances. After this happened three times on one boot I decided there was a problem. Mine or theirs, i don't know, and don't care.

        What problems will I encounter installing KDE onto an existing
        Ubuntu load?

        The reason is an echo Pa Kettle's noting of problems with Ubuntu.

        In my case, it is manifests every time I boot Ubuntu and it
        tells me it had a problem that must be reported. he problem,
        according the message, which I am paraphrasing as
        Unity-settings-utility has had a problem. When I did a web
        search I find that problems with this interface have existed
        for four or five years. Seems that they either aren't
        interested, or aren't capable of fixing it. Perhaps the
        utility needs to be replaced with something else that will work.

        Ubuntu has also mandated that I install an extra external fan
        as its demands on the system as it seems that it heats the
        whole system up to the point where it locks and becomes
        totally unresponsive.

        Not ready for Prime Time, in spite of the prostelyzations of
        the AZ Loco group.

            I have been using Linux for about 10 years now. Mostly
            Mint (latest 17.3), but I have tried almost every distro.
            I keep trying Ubuntu (latest 16.04).

            I like Ubuntu although I’m still trying to get used to
            Unity. My problem with Ubuntu is the frozen gray screen.
            It doesn’t matter what program or website I’m on, I get
            the gray frozen screen, not always, but often. After a
            few seconds or sometimes minutes a message pops up and
            states “Ubuntu has a problem and needs to shut this
            program down. This had happened on 3 different desktop
            computers, so I know it’s not the CPU. Mint works and
            worked fine on all three. I guess just for general
            principle I would like to get a version of Ubuntu to work
            properly.

            I check daily for any updates and do them immediately.

            Any help would be greatly appreciated.
