My question is what is difference between installing perticular desktop environment on Ubuntu And Using directly that (Default -environmented) distro/flavour of Ubuntu?

Example: Two options:

  1. Install ubuntu-gnome-desktop or kubuntu-desktop or xubuntu-desktopetc. (official & recognized derivatives) alternatively on Ubuntu (Default -Unity Desktop)
  2. Use (Run) perticular distro/flavour Ubuntu-Gnome or Kubuntu or Xubuntu etc.

I want to know is both method working same performance? and which is proper method to use Desktop Environment.
