In this guide, we will install the Kubuntu 13.04 operating system. This version of Linux is based on the Ubuntu 13.04 package base and has a KDE 4 desktop.
Personally, I like this desktop more than others, quite possibly because KDE was my first desktop.
To install, you need to download the distribution and burn it to a DVD disc, or you can make an installation flash drive with this distribution and install without a DVD drive.
Download the distribution for its architecture at the following links:
Download Kubuntu 13.04 i386 for a 32bit computer
Download Kubuntu 13.04 amd64 for a 64bit computer
Write this downloaded image on a DVD, boot from this disk when you turn on the computer and below you will see a step-by-step detailed guide with many screenshots.
If you do not have a DVD drive in your computer, then you need to make a bootable flash drive.
If you do not know how to create a bootable flash drive from a downloaded Linux image, then you need to parage on the link and view the instructions: How to create a bootable flash drive for installing Linux using the example of Kubuntu
