From my understanding and memory Raspberry Pi OS uses a custom LXDE derivative

Might be right; most of what ive done on pi was in terminal, so I very much could have missed the difference.

Is it available in package manager?

Theoretically you can install KDE on any distro. The bigger question is how new of packages do you want. Newer is less stable but has the latest features.

You can install KDE on Raspberry Pi OS (Raspbian). Just download the ‘Lite’ image, flash and install e.g. kde-plasma-desktop with apt.

I’d recommend that you do this on a minimal install. You do not want to end up with conflicts

@in_sympathy @kde @kde@lemmy.kde.social I recommend Fedora KDE Spin

For installation instructions, checkout: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/quick-docs/raspberry-pi/

Note: Current stable release of Fedora only includes Plasma 5. Plasma 6 will be included in the upcoming stable release, Fedora 40, which is scheduled for release later this month.

@in_sympathy @triskelion @kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social I had a really really rough experience with Fedora on the Raspberry Pi 4. Explicitly Fedora Server. Imao I think the ARM build is unexpectedly unstable.

Don’t get me wrong I love Fedora I use it as my primary distro but on the Pi? Well I had a hell of a ride.
