Debian 13 Trixie With KDE 6.3.
Debian 13 now has KDE 6.3 which I have installed on my other laptop.
I have installed the minimal KDE desktop. Which enables you to choose what software you do or don't want to install.
What's different in KDE 6.3 is that the minimal install is no longer bundled with SDDM display manager. So you can install Lightdm with the Slick Greeter as I have done. Then remove SDDM. Konqueror web browser, Konsole, (the KDE terminal)and Kate are also optional installs. Which can be removed and replaced with the terminal and text editor of your choice.
To do a minimal install of KDE you can either install the Plasma-Desktop package.
Or the KDE-Plasma-Desktop package for a minimal install with more software. Or both packages which you can get from Synaptic Package Manager.
Or if you want to install from the terminal the commands are as follows:
Plasma Desktop minimal install
sudo apt install plasma-desktop
KDE Plasma Desktop minimal but with a bit more software
sudo apt install kde-plasma-desktop
See also the Debian website for KDE full desktop and the minimal KDE Desktop.
