Can I install KDE over Cinnamon

Post by axwack »

Can I do this or can I have them work side by side? I prefer the Plasma 5 interface. Any help would be appreciated.

Hello axwack and welcome to Linux Mint Forums,
Yes you can run KDE along side Cinnamon go to a terminal and type the following command

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install kde-full
after that install is complete it will take some time. Then follow the instructions on this page to add plasma 5 if you want.

but remember plasma 5 is not an official release yet and is not supported by Mint Dev's.

you'll have to log out and select kde after the first install is made.
Good Luck
