Re: [Trisquel-users] How to install MATE and remove KDE

[stephen . biggs]

Thank you for your quick reply.

This is just a test install on a spare hard drive before I upgrade my main  
SSD from Trisquel 7 to Trisquel 8, so I will try to get KDE working, if not  
I'll try MATE and if that's good then I'll do a fresh MATE install from the  
ISO.


Thanks for the tips

At that point you might as well reinstall Trisquel using the regular
ISO. If for some reason this is not an option, you could try running

$ sudo apt remove triskel
$ sudo apt remove plasma-*
$ sudo apt autoremove

This might not remove every trace of KDE, though.

[Trisquel-users] How to install MATE and remove KDE

[stephen . biggs]

I just installed Trisquel 8.0 with KDE. I'm not sure if I like KDE. I would  
like to try MATE instead. How can I install MATE so I can try it instead?


If I then decide to use MATE, I won't need KDE anymore. So how would I  
uninstall KDE?


Thanks :)
