I normally use Plasma but I installed Gnome to give it a go and wish to install plasma also as a login option. Is the only package needed is plasma-meta (I’m aware SDDM takes over)? or are there additional steps needed for RebornOS? Just want to make sure so I don’t mess things up. ---

Hi @jarrard. reborn actually have their own meta packages for the different desktops. Tho maybe the `plasma-meta` would also work, haven’t tried it. If you want the reborn flavor of kde plasma you would install `rebornos-cosmic-kde`. `sudo pacman -S rebornos-cosmic-kde` Or through rebornos-fire or your favorite arch package manager. If you have questions or run into issues don’t be afraid to speak up again. ---

You may also want to switch the display manager to SDDM: ```bash sudo systemctl disable gdm.service sudo systemctl enable sddm.service ``` If you have visual artifacts in KDE Plasma due to Gnome, change the theme on KDE Plasma and optionally set it back up again.
