Hi everyone!

Today I tried to install KDE alongside Gnome to give it a try on Fedora on something else than a virtual machine.

For a reason I can’t understand, the terminal couldn’t finish the installation of KDE as something failed. Despite all of this, all the KDE apps were installed and Plasma is appearing as an option on the login screen under Gnome and Gnome Classic. Still I couldn’t launch KDE plasma and nothing was happening after typing my login.

I took it as a sign that KDE isn’t for me, especially because I’m 99% happy with Gnome.

So I removed KDE via the terminal and the remaining apps via the software center. Sadly, there is one app called “Centre de bienvenue” or “Welcome center” from KDE that I can’t remove. Nothing is happening when I try removing it.

I tried removing it via the terminal, but when I type “dnf list installed” I can’t find it as there are too many packages. Could anyone help me?

    You might try to just swap the groups

    sudo dnf group remove "WorkstationSomething"
sudo dnf group install "Plasma Desktop"

    Or something, I dont use traditional Fedora anymore and only used it for a a few weeks.

      I ain’t gonna try anything anymore, as I feel like I dodged a bullet and could have broken my precious installation.

      That is unless I grow tired of Gnome one day.
