Yes, you can run KDE apps in Ubuntu and GNOME apps in Kubuntu. However:- * KDE apps don't integrate (look and feel as well as functionality) with GNOME and GNOME apps don't integrate with KDE * You will have to download extra packages such as the necessary KDE libraries, and any updates to them also. * Using KDE and GNOME apps together will have a higher memory footprint as you will have libraries from both in memory at once. > >This is something i have heard time and time again for many years.
