How separate KDE-plasma style from Zorin Desktop?

Hello Everyone :smiley: On my new laptop installing Zorin 17.3 and-for fun installed KDE-Plasma in terminal(I wrote sudo apt install kde-plasma-desktop),and when swich on kde-plasma,saw when all programs are there-I swich to Zoring Dekstop and how my suprised was then style File Managher Dolphin for KDE-Plasma move to Zorin Desktop...and i want to ask...how fix it?

I don't think you can. Is Files not showing at all on the Dash? (Panel)

In terminal, please run

sudo apt purge kde-desktop-full kde* plasma* kio* kwin* kwayland* breeze* konsole* kscreen* kinfocenter* hotkeys* krunner* kded*

Remove config files:

sudo rm -rf /usr/share/kde4 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/kde* /usr/share/plasma /usr/share/kservices5 /usr/share/kservicetypes5 /usr/share/kxmlgui5 /usr/share/kwin

sudo rm -rf ~/.kde ~/.config/kde* ~/.local/share/kactivitymanagerd ~/.cache/plasma*

Restore defaults:

sudo apt install --reinstall zorin-os-desktop gdm3

sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm3

Reboot.

Really, it is the left over Breeze packages that annoy us all.

Are but they style is KDE

Thank you for very fast anwer 0.0

Is there any way to install KDE so that it doesn't β€œeat up” the Zorin desktop? I ask before I do from you anwser because in my time sphere is night and i going to sleep and i write anwser because i do't know how fast will be anwser tomorror so i wrote today

Thakny you for your very fast anwser again :smiley:

Not really, no... it is because KDE is built with QT and Zorin Desktop is built with GTK.
It makes it very hard to define where to draw the lines of separation.

The better option - if you want both desktops, is to Dual Boot and choose which OS to use on a per need basis.

Or... to install only KDE Applications that you want individually, not the entire desktop.
