Often new Linux desktop user get confused about KDE and Gnome Desktop system. This guide tries to provide the basic differences between KDE and Gnome.
From the article:
This is not, by any means a comprehensive look at the differences between KDE and Gnome, but it should give new users a small taste of their different strengths and weaknesses and their philosophical approaches to usability.
The focus is particularly on Ubuntu and Kubuntu, but aspects of this comparison can apply to other Linux distributions as well.

I am a new user to to linux. How to install anti virus in ubuntu .Is antivirus is necessary ? if yes which antivirus u fell better
Hai……It is not necessary. The viruses wont do anything in linux.But the viruses will come in the system. If you want to install an antivirus means there are lot of antivirus available there you can install kaspersky but i think its 300rupees. Better you can try the avast antivirus which is available for free….search in google to download that.
Note:if you are using ubuntu means the package should be in .deb format which is executed in ubuntu.
