En este vídeo hago una instalación límpia de 'Debian 12 bookworm' con un escritorio kde-plasma mínimo, sin juegos ni cargada de aplicaciones que luego estamo Hello, to start kde in a Wayland session, first log out and get to the login page. From there in the bottom left corner I believe theres a box that says plasma Wayland. Click the box and then select x11. Thanks! My monitor is 4k and the box was very small in the corner of the screen. So first of all, regarding KDE. KDE Plasma on Debian stable is my production environment. The good: Highly customizable, small things that increase usability significantly for me (e.g. very distinguishable active window title, window shadow), surprisingly low resource usage, looks pretty nice IMO. The bad: Wayland session is unstable and Popularity: 16 (480 hits per day) KDE neon is a Ubuntu-based Linux distribution and live DVD featuring the latest KDE Plasma desktop and other KDE community software. Besides the installable DVD image, the project provides a rapidly-evolving software repository with all the latest KDE software. Two editions of the product are available - a Debian 12 (bookworm) and later. For Debian 12 onwards, all the packaged non-free firmware binaries that Debian can distribute have been moved to a new component in the Debian archive, called non-free-firmware.

It is suggested to choose the lightdm because of its lightweight Plasma/KDE and Gnome don't work exactly the same way when it comes to "paint" your desktop and windows, and other content, on your PC screen, so installing a new desktop environment usually means installing new video drivers, and it may take some time before you feel comfortable with the way things look in Gnome, compared to KDE's eye-candy. KDE Plasma Discover gets stuck at "still looking". I recently switched on my laptop from Arch to Debian. I usually use Gnome but for the small laptop-screen (14") I felt like KDE is much better suited. It works quite well out-of-the-box, I only had to switch the wlan-service. Now I encountered this bug. itLWq0.
