@kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social is there any distro for Raspberry Pi with KDE? I’d love to give it a try 🙌🏻
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.
I’d recommend that you do this on a minimal install. You do not want to end up with conflicts
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 @kde@lemmy.kde.social 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 @kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social I guess that’s what I’ll try then 🙌🏻
Forget my other comment. This is the right answer
@in_sympathy @triskelion @kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social 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.
How long ago was that. I think they improved the stability more recently
@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.
I think they have made it better since then but I haven’t tested it.

Isnt it the default for raspbian? Kind of the default pi distro?
From my understanding and memory Raspberry Pi OS uses a custom LXDE derivative
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?
Should be available from raspberry pi’s package repos as
raspberrypi-ui-modsand of course you’ll needxserver-xorgif you don’t already have thatTheoretically 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.
