I know, generally not a good idea, but we each do as we must.
I have removed xfce4 and installed kde-plasma. And for the most part it has gone smoothly enough. However, it seems some changes have taken place since others have documented a how-to.
It seems kdebase is no longer available… is there a replacement package? I do not know what it installed so it is hard to determine what I still need to install.
Is there a way to apply the plasma overlay that is used with the arm-installer?
Anyone else try this, that may have a few pointers beyond what is already in the guides?
So basically I need to perform all of the steps in the overlays/kde-plasma directory.
Are there any other scripts that performs any setup/configuration for kde-plasma that are not in this directory?
Edit: I keep running into the issue of my Systems Settings window becoming totally black, so I can not see the menu/icons. They are there… just all black. If I randomly click, it does start things. I believe this is tied to the system wide theme. Is there maybe a way via command line to change the theme until I get this all figured out?
Edit 2: Or maybe the file in ~/.config to remove and restore the default? Guess I can just remove all .config and recopy /etc/skel.
In the end… I started with a fresh Plasma install. I am sure a switch can be made, but it was more effort and my results were less than perfect. Since I know more about the details of what I changed than I know about details of changing desktops, the better choice was to start fresh.
