TechHut's video: Pop OS Customization Installing KDE Plasma and LightDM

Reviewing how to install the most customizable Linux desktop environment on the best Debian based distribution Pop!_OS. This will also work with any other Debian based system such as Ubuntu, Linux Mint, Elementary OS, Zorin, and more! You could also use a distribution based on KDE such as Manjaro KDE, KDE NEON, Kubuntu, OpenSUSE, KaOS, Netrunner, Chakra, or Arch with KDE plasma. Update and Upgrade Pop OS sudo apt update sudo apt full-upgrade Backup with Timeshift https://youtu.be/QE0lyWodWdU Install KDE Plasma sudo apt install kde-plasma-desktop OR sudo apt install kde-standard Install LightDM display manager sudo apt-get install lightdm AFTER FURTHER RESEARCH I WOULD NOT RECOMMENDED REMOVING GNOME. Having both desktop environments installed is fine. "Based on what I've found so far actually removing gnome (pop-desktop packages) could have a negative effect on updating the system. Also doing this to get the max system performance will result in the Pop! Shop to be removed. Having both installed on Pop!_OS seems to be the best move. If you're looking for limited resource utilization I'd recommend going with a distribution built around the KDE Plasma environment. With this said running with both environments installed isn't all the resources heavy." https://support.system76.com/articles/desktop-environment/ https://askubuntu.com/questions/139491/how-to-change-from-gdm-to-lightdm 00:00 - GNOME vs KDE Plasma 01:10 - Updating System 02:10 - Installing KDE Plasma 04:18 - Installing LightDM 05:20 - Booting Pop!_OS KDE 06:18 - KDE Theming Showcase 08:09 - KDE Widgets Showcase
