Is the difference, for the most part, eye candy?

You can just install the new window manager to try it out and select
it when you login. Typically you can use a small gear icon to switch
the window manager on the login page before pressing enter or clicking
the button to login. My Fedora desktop has KDE Plasma, Gnome, Mint,
and Cinnamon, of which Gnome is my least favorite. It seems designed
for a touch screen or tablet. You can run KDE/Gnome apps on Mint,
Cinnamon, etc if it's installed even if you're not running it.

No, kubuntu is (or was) a thing. You should be able to strip your
gui (desktop manager) out, leaving you at a terminal prompt. Then
you should be able to install KDE.

All,
I have been using Ubuntu as one of my desktops for a while, but have
always been irritated by how difficult it is to do customize things.
I was thinking of trying KDE, but do I have to re-install a new
Kubuntu O/S to have KDE or is there a way to install the KDE desktop
on my Ubuntu 20.04 (Gnome) desktop?
Thanks
Peter

In the past there has been some discussion about which is better
GNOME or KDE? I like Mint and I see it offers MATE (a fork of GNOME
2) or Cinnamon (a fork of GNOME 3).
Does it matter?
KDE is very, very customizable. GNOME 3 is ... not. There has been
a remarkable amount of continuity in how KDE's applications have
behaved (and looked, if you want) since KDE 2. And no, not every
application starts with a K these days. Default file manager is
dolphin not konqueror, default image viewer is gwenview not kview,
default screenshot taker is spectacle not kscreenshot. So I prefer
KDE but EPID and YMMV.
