Hi @progamer6562 , the install list became outdated because of Arch renaming its packages. Until it is fixed, I would suggest installing the below:

```sh
sudo pacman -Syu plasma-meta plasma-wayland-session sddm

sudo systemctl disable lightdm
# OR
sudo systemctl disable gdm

sudo systemctl enable --now sddm

```

The meta package will make it easier to cleanly remove if you change your mind about the desktop.

Thanks, and I will tag the developer here so that they can update the package list… CC: @SoulHarsh0071

These commands I know to use but I recommend to say to the developer to make a simple script sudo pacman name -S and we to make manually without changing app  
Edit:After installing manually KDE Plasma in Fire app is showing KDE Plasma as a installed desktop

@progamer6562

Yeah, sure. We can make a script to install our latest package list from Github.

But please check all desktop environment if installation will work or not because when installing Budgie Desktop will have same errors

@progamer6562 Yeah. Packages on Arch Linux change constantly and all package lists get outdated. We may instead use meta-packages maintained by Arch Linux itself.
