I need some special drivers for my docking station which are available for Ubuntu.
Can I also install them on Kubuntu or do I need to port the drivers?



(I want to install these drivers in particular: https://www.displaylink.com/downloads/ubuntu)

  • The flavors are the same Ubuntu base, but with a different desktop. Ubuntu 18.04 LTS contains the GNOME desktop, Kubuntu is the same base but with GNOME replaced by KDE (along with GNOME software by KDE software) - drivers are well lower in the software stack (close to the kernel) where both are the same base.

Yes.



The flavors have the same Ubuntu base, but with a different desktop. Ubuntu 18.04 LTS desktop provides the GNOME desktop, Kubuntu is the same base but with GNOME replaced by KDE (along with GNOME software being replaced by KDE software).



Drivers (or kernel modules in linux talk) are well lower in the software stack (close to the kernel) where both Ubuntu/Kubuntu/Lubuntu/Xubuntu/Ubuntu-MATE/Ubuntu-Budgie/Ubuntu-Studio/Ubuntu-Kylin all have the same Ubuntu base.
