How completely remove KDE

Greetings my friends. I am working on Q4OS 2.7, and besides TDE, I installed KDE. Both desktops work great, but I would still want to remove KDE. How to completely delete KDE. Thanks in advance.

Re: How completely remove KDE

Personally I would re-install as it is the quickest and likely easiest way to ensure complete removal of KDE (I have to assume you mean the Plasma desktop as TDE contains KDE components due to being forked from KDE 3.5 originally). It might be possible to remove the Plasma desktop by other means but I would guess (never tried) it to be quite a tricky task.

Thanks. Plasma 5.8.6 on Q4OS 2.7 work great but I want one desktop only. Is Q4OS 3.5 enough stable right now?

Re: How completely remove KDE

We would recommend you to use Q4OS stable 2.7 Scorpion, the Centaurus is a testing release at the moment. You can download Scorpion 2.7 without Plasma here https://www.q4os.org/downloads1.html , the "Q4OS Scorpion, Trinity - 64bit / x64 ... 574 MBytes" option.

If you want to remove Plasma from a current installation, you need to remove packages:
"q4os-kde5-desktop kde-plasma-desktop plasma-nm plasma-pa krusader sddm sddm-theme-debian-breeze"
Run in terminal:
$ sudo apt remove q4os-kde5-desktop kde-plasma-desktop plasma-nm plasma-pa krusader sddm sddm-theme-debian-breeze
$ sudo dpkg-reconfigure tdm-trinity
and set TDM as the default display manager.

Re: How completely remove KDE

Regarding Centaurus stability, I use it on a daily basis (for testing) and it seems to be pretty stable, but as with all "testing" distro's you should expect failures or problems from time to time, I would not use it for a production machine if I did not have an alternative stable system that I could switch to in case of a problem, the main thing most people need with their machines is for it to "just work" and that is the goal of the Stable Scorpion version.
