👋 Hello friends, welcome to inet70. Today, I will guide you on how to install KDE Plasma on Debian 12 (Bookworm). Here, I will use tasksel to install KDE Plasma on Debian 12 Gnome Desktop.
Introductions
KDE Plasma is available in the latest version of KDE Plasma 5.27. In this Linux distribution, KDE Plasma is available with Shell 5.2.15. KDE provides the best desktop user experience. You can run a professional desktop UI in KDE Plasma. It includes the app store and other important tools in KDE Plasma. You can edit videos and photos with KDE Plasma editors. This UI is much better compared to the Gnome desktop. In this GUI, all the software works smoothly without any critical errors. KDE Plasma’s team is fully focused on animations and effects. It provides a powerful desktop experience.
Now, we can try this on Debian 12 Bookworm desktop using tasksel. Follow the following installation process to perfectly install on Debian 12.
