Look! No ads!

Take back control. Choose Plasma.

@[email protected] @[email protected] is there any distro for Raspberry Pi with KDE? I’d love to give it a try 🙌🏻

[–] [email protected] 9 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago

I'd recommend that you do this on a minimal install. You do not want to end up with conflicts

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago

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.

@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 🙌🏻

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago

Forget my other comment. This is the right answer

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

@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.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

How long ago was that. I think they improved the stability more recently

[–] [email protected] 0 points 7 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) (1 children)

@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.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago

I think they have made it better since then but I haven't tested it.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago

Theoretically you can install KDE on any distro. The bigger question is how new of packages do you want. Newer is less stable but has the latest features.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Isnt it the default for raspbian? Kind of the default pi distro?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago (1 children)

From my understanding and memory Raspberry Pi OS uses a custom LXDE derivative

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

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?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago

Should be available from raspberry pi's package repos as raspberrypi-ui-mods and of course you'll need xserver-xorg if you don't already have that
