Like most (maybe all?) Linux distros, it's quite possible to install and use KDE applications on a machine that uses another (say, Gnome) GUI by default.  When I installed my favorite email client and torrent client (KMain and KTorrent) on this Ubuntu laptop, the required libraries were installed as well.  Many of those begin with "k".

However, you seem to have an aversion to anything you consider "k stuff" that I don't understand.

A fresh install would certainly take you back to "pure" Ubuntu, but the question still remains, "Why?"

Did a KDE application ever harm you?
