Don’t know about Cachy. But the general way is to just install KDE and then change where you want to go in your login-manager. You might have to disable automatic logins to get that.

Many distributions have some kind of meta package that installs everything KDE related called kde, kde-desktop or plasma-desktop.

After everything is running how you like it you may remove all Gnome packages and install sddm instead of gdm as a login manager. But that’s optional.

Make sure you have a backup before you start and another before you uninstall things.

The least you should have is a list of installed packages, so you can diff it later, if required.

CachyOS is arch based, which allows you to use the holy ArchWiki.

wiki.archlinux.org/title/KDE Is what you’re looking for. Good luck!

Thank you. This is what I ended up using. Swapped to SDDM. Then removed gnome. Things seem to be good. Gnome-desktop and gnome-desktop-common appear stuck due to lutris but I’ll figure that out later

Glad it worked! And what do you mean stuck? As in that you can’t remove them?

Yeah. Gives an error. But they weren’t not auto removed when removing gnome or gnome-essentials so they might be required.

wish it was easier to get the cachy kernel, the checksums on the aur pkg are always outdated
