I quite like KDE whenever I've used it. But I've broken so many systems by fucking around a bit too much. So I'm on Pop OS which uses a themed Gnome DE. I keep hearing it's easy to install different a different DE, but how do you do it safely and still keep compatibility with your distros updates?
PopOS is Ubuntu LTS so it's only getting ancient KDE Plasma and no, not worth it.
Aside, yes it’s fairly easy, but you might need to change couple of settings regarding theming and then roll back to defaults to un-fuck some desktop theming.
But I've broken so many systems by fucking around a bit too much.
If only there were things such as KDE based distros and Atomic ones.... (Also what does this have to do with KDE)
but how do you do it safely
Sudo apt install plasma plasma-utils.
and still keep compatibility with your distros updates?
Sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade
Atomic distros require patience that many newbies don't have. The learning curve is not what many expect when they hear about it.
Source: Too many friends with broken atomics because they 'thought it was safer'
How?
I used Fedora and bazzite for a while now and nothing ever happened.
I'm not too much of a newbie either. My home server is nixos, it's just not a paradigm I want for my daily use computer :P
Are you serious? You're running nixos but don't know how to change ones DE? You're definitely not a newbie, but your path of development is certainly interesting lol I blame the llms for all these foundationless positions (am just being old tho)
I mean I've been using Linux for over 15 years. Sure, last time I tried having multiple (and uninstalling) multiple DEs on one machine was probably 10 or so years ago, it just left me with a bad taste in my mouth so I stopped doing it.
