Can I install Plasma KDE alongside Deepin DE?
I want to switch to Plasma KDE from Deepin desktop environment but I heard about issued and incopatibility between DEs. Can I install Plasma without getting problems in long term? If yes, what command I have to launch to install it?
Thanks :)
EDIT: this post solves also screen tearing with NVIDIA cards in KDE.
You can install plasma with:
sudo pacman -S antergos-kde-meta
In that case you’ll get the full KDE Plasma DE plus the Antergos settings.
@Bryanpwo thank you, I’ll try it soon ;)
It seems to works great…! :D @Bryanpwo
You’re welcome.
@Bryanpwo Thank you very much :) I installed KDE both on my desktop PC and my notebook. I’ve noticed that my desktop suffers of screen tearing, but my notebook doesn’t. I provide you some specs:
Desktop:
CPU: Ryzen 5 1600
GPU: GTX 1060
Notebook:
CPU: i5-4200u
GPU: Radeon 8670M
But I noticed going in Kinfocenter > Graphical Information > OpenGL > 3D Accelerator > Vendor there is “Intel Corporation” instead “AMD Radeon Graphics”. So I think the notebook use the internal graphics to manage the DE.
Waiting for some news :)
For your desktop try install the Nvidia driver:
sudo pacman -S nvidia-installer
After install type:
sudo nvidia-installer
after that reboot the machine and hopefully your problem will be solved, if not then updating your Bios could also be a solution.
for more info on that read the thread over here.
@Bryanpwo I tried to install the nvidia-installer, but it didn’t do the trick. I also tried to upgrade the BIOS first to F10 than to F23 and the screen tearing is still here :(
Have you tried to do the set up in the wiki about Nvidia cards, Joekamprad made a very clear description over here.
Just to chip in on this, I have installed both KDE and Deepin in parallell. I started with KDE from the installer and then just installed the deepin packages. No issues at all so far :)
@Bryanpwo thank you again! I will try this steps asap!
@stingray454 Great, so also the inverse process works great :D
I my case disabling compositing resolved the screen tearing.
@tankist02 I will try when I come back to home :) thanks ;)
