A guide how to setup KDE similar to GNOME experience.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Install packages `plasma` (all and maybe uninstall `discover` later)
|
|
|
|
|
* Install some apps: `partitionmanager ark gwenview okular kcalc kdiff3`
|
|
|
|
|
* Install `latte-dock` for a reasonable dock
|
|
|
|
|
* (**optional**) For KDE's Software Center (Discover), install backends `packagekit-qt5`
|
|
|
|
|
* Adapt styles
|
|
|
|
|
* Adapt Font Settings according to screenshot
|
|
|
|
|
* Use `Breeze Twilight` as global theme
|
|
|
|
|
* Adapt GTK style to also use `Breeze`
|
|
|
|
|
* Maybe qdbus is slow when shutting down, use `/desktop/` files and drag to desktop from a location, then add as Widget and move to top panel
|
|
|
|
|
* Import keybindings from files
|
|
|
|
|
* (**optional**) Firefox KDE: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Firefox#KDE_integration
|
|
|
|
|
* Install `xdg-desktop-portal xdg-desktop-portal-kde`
|
|
|
|
|
* Different uses of _meta_ key
|
|
|
|
|
* Native _"show all"_ windows
|
|
|

|
|
|
kwriteconfig5 --file ~/.config/kwinrc --group ModifierOnlyShortcuts --key Meta "org.kde.kglobalaccel,/component/kwin,org.kde.kglobalaccel.Component,invokeShortcut,ExposeAll";
|
|
|
|
|
qdbus org.kde.KWin /KWin reconfigure;
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Native _"show current workspace"_ windows
|

|
|
|
kwriteconfig5 --file ~/.config/kwinrc --group ModifierOnlyShortcuts --key Meta "org.kde.kglobalaccel,/component/kwin,org.kde.kglobalaccel.Component,invokeShortcut,Expose";
|
|
|
|
|
qdbus org.kde.KWin /KWin reconfigure;
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* kwin script _Parachute_ to simulate behavior which requires https://github.com/tcorreabr/Parachute (via _AUR_)
|

```shell

2022-09-04 12:54:22 +00:00
|
|
|
kwriteconfig5 --file ~/.config/kwinrc --group ModifierOnlyShortcuts --key Meta "org.kde.kglobalaccel,/component/kwin,org.kde.kglobalaccel.Component,invokeShortcut,Parachute";
|
|
|
|
|
qdbus org.kde.KWin /KWin reconfigure;
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
* Set default applications (e.g. Terminal)
|
|
|
|
|
* Use systemd start instead of boot scripts: `kwriteconfig5 --file startkderc --group General --key systemdBoot true`
|
|
|
|
|
* Maybe sync the following configuration files to track changes
