So how do I install it on Ubuntu?


KDE is probably too much of a core package to install, unless you are doing for the fun of it. The best way would be to wait until Ubuntu ships it in its next release.


Or reinstall KDE Neon which is Ubuntu base with KDE on top. That's what I've been running as my main desktop at home for 5 years or so and at work on and off for 5 years.


KDE Neon is what youre looking for.


sudo apt install kde-full


Presumably that would get you the previous release, if running Ubuntu 20.04? You'd either need a custom ppa, build it yourself, or run the early version of 20.10 (oth look at the date, I guess 20.10 is out? So maybe wait for 21.04?).

Ed: not quite yet, October 22nd, apparently : https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases

And 20.10 will "only" come with plasma 5.19 - so it's ppa/bacports or 21.04 alpha for 5.20 looks like:
