#!/bin/sh # # KDE Plasma is a really nice and feature rich desktop environment # that also has good HiDPI support. # # It includes many applications that the common user may need, as # well as some games one may find interesting. # # Although resource usage is considerably high compared to using just # a window manager like bspwm, KDE offers many aspects of itself that # you simply cannot achieve with a window manager without dedicating # significant time and energy. # # To install just the desktop environment and nothing else, # use the `plasma-desktop` package instead of `plasma`. # # The Plasma desktop environment also has great support for multiple # users out of the box. There is no need to worry about making new # users manually, as this can be handled through the GUI. # # To snyc notifications between your computer and your phone, use # a shared clipboard, and some other things, you can add a line to # install the `kdeconnect` package as well. # # NOTE: Plasma also comes with network-manager and plasma-nm. If you # want to use network-manager instead of dhcpcd or iwd, you must # first stop (and disable) the service for these components, then # enable and start `NetworkManager.service`. # # To see which services are running, use: systemctl --type=service # # https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/KDE set -xe sudo pacman -S plasma
