How to remove KDE Plasma Desktop on Ubuntu 20.04
Installed KDE Plasma desktop with
sudo apt install kde-plasma-desktop
Tried it for a few days and, while I liked it a lot, it's just not playing well with my current Ubuntu 20.04 installation.
eg.
- No screenshot app, hitting print screen does nothing
- Snap acting funny and can't be found through app launcher, have to run apps through terminal and pin them.
-
$HOME/bin
scripts aren't in PATH anymore for some reason - And more..
Went back to Gnome and removed it with sudo apt remove --purge kde-plasma-desktop
.
But now I still have issues with 2 and 3.
How do I remove KDE plasma completely and restore my Gnome desktop to what it was?
PS.
Solutions here didn't work for me either.
