@[email protected] @[email protected] is there any distro for Raspberry Pi with KDE? I’d love to give it a try 🙌🏻
Isnt it the default for raspbian? Kind of the default pi distro?
From my understanding and memory Raspberry Pi OS uses a custom LXDE derivative
Might be right; most of what ive done on pi was in terminal, so I very much could have missed the difference.
Is it available in package manager?
Should be available from raspberry pi’s package repos as
raspberrypi-ui-modsand of course you’ll needxserver-xorgif you don’t already have that@in_sympathy @[email protected] @[email protected] No personal experience with any of these but Armbian and Manjaro both offer ARM variants for RPi
https://www.armbian.com/rpi4b/
https://manjaro.org/download/
@in_sympathy @kde @[email protected] I recommend Fedora KDE Spin
For installation instructions, checkout: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/quick-docs/raspberry-pi/
Note: Current stable release of Fedora only includes Plasma 5. Plasma 6 will be included in the upcoming stable release, Fedora 40, which is scheduled for release later this month.
@triskelion @[email protected] @[email protected] I guess that’s what I’ll try then 🙌🏻
@in_sympathy @triskelion @[email protected] @[email protected] I had a really really rough experience with Fedora on the Raspberry Pi 4. Explicitly Fedora Server. Imao I think the ARM build is unexpectedly unstable.
Don’t get me wrong I love Fedora I use it as my primary distro but on the Pi? Well I had a hell of a ride.
How long ago was that. I think they improved the stability more recently
@possiblylinux127 I still had issues with F37. But it is explicitly to mention thst this was the Fedora Server build. Not a Workstation of Spin build.

You can use as well #openSUSEtumbleweed and select #kde as desktop.

You can install KDE on Raspberry Pi OS (Raspbian). Just download the ‘Lite’ image, flash and install e.g. kde-plasma-desktop with apt.
You can?!
I’m trying this. Thanks.
Here is a link where they install a desktop environment on Raspberry Pi OS lite using tasksel. The steps except that particular one should be identical.
I’d recommend that you do this on a minimal install. You do not want to end up with conflicts
