How to install KDE Plasma in Arch Linux
Arch Linux doesn't come with a desktop environment, so you will need to install one on your own.
1. Install packages
Run this code, and choose all the defaults.
sudo pacman -S --needed xorg sddm sudo pacman -S --needed plasma kde-applications
If it fails to install, run this code.
sudo pacman -Sy xorg sddm sudo pacman -Sy plasma kde-applications
2. Enable packages
Run this code.
sudo systemctl enable sddm sudo systemctl enable NetworkManager
3. Launch on startup
Open this file on nano.
sudo nano /usr/lib/sddm/sddm.conf.d/default.conf
Add the text
[Theme] # current theme name Current=breeze
Run this code.
sudo systemctl reboot
