Hi,

Trying to install KDE on here, and I found one post but was awhile ago and there is no ubuntu software center so the fix that was here in the forums doesn't allow me to search that software center.

What other ways can i load it on to my system? Thanks.

Evening, Broot.
I'm no expert; but I thought a fast response that may help get you in the right direction may help.

I went in the other direction and backtracked to Gnome Flashback (Compiz) and so far, everything runs very smoothly and seamlessly after I got everything set up. At the log in screen, I click the gear icon to choose which (Default System, Flashback, so on) that I want to use.

Hi Aravision, please be careful when replying to specific topic and keep on track. Flashback is not something that comes with Zorin. ;) :D

Ah, yes, I should have been clear. I was relating as to how customization can be and to remind to click the gear icon on login to ensure you are logging in to the correct one (In the O.P.'s case, Plasma).
I tend to say too much or too little.
Flashback does not come with (And should not come with) Zorin.
