Hey Georgi,

There is no difference other then the initially installed packages.
Use muon or muon-packages to install KDE in Ubuntu.

Before you logon you can change the window manager, any time you want to 
switch. Prolly an option on your logon screen.

I currently run  Fedora with gnome, KDE, mate and cinemon installed. I 
got tired of the KDE problems with Nepomuk hogging the cpu, and gnome 
with their new user interface that I find lacking (soz guys). So I 
mainly use mate at the moment. Once in a while I check whether the 
problems went away. So you can switch back and forth between window 
managers.

hope this helps.

Guus.
