Installation Guide
Before proceeding with the installation of KDE on Ubuntu 24.04, ensure that you
have a stable internet connection and sufficient privileges on your system to
execute sudo commands. The installation process involves several steps, starting
with the update of package indexes, installation of the KDE package, selection of a
display manager, and concluding with a system reboot to apply changes.

1. Update Package Indexes: To ensure that you have the latest versions of packages
and their dependencies, start by updating your package indexes.
sudo apt update

This command contacts the software repositories configured on your system and
updates the package lists, ensuring you get the latest version of software during
installation.

2. Install KDE: Next, install the KDE desktop environment. You can choose between
the full KDE suite, which includes all KDE applications, or the standard package,
which includes a minimal set of KDE applications.

$ sudo apt install kde-full

OR

$ sudo apt install kde-standard

During the installation, you will be prompted to select a display manager. Choose
‘sddm’ – The Simple Desktop Display Manager (SDDM), which is recommended
for KDE.

environment.
