Yes! Don't worry - you connect to the net exactly the same as using any other OS

Go to the main KDE menu (Start menu in windows) and find which app you want to use and simply right click on it and select "Add to Desktop"

Welcome to PCLos tycapel7.

Hope you enjoy your stay with us, you've chosen the best and Friendliest Distro there is, here you don't need antivirus although you can use it if you wish too, always remember, Linux is NOT windows, so enjoy the ride.  ;D ;D
