This is the set-up I use as well. If you swich to xrender instead of openGL or turning off the compositor, you still get a few of the desktop effects, without the slow down.
Curious if you have this problem. Although it IS connecting to the internet, the network manager always says networks are unavailable.
I used raspi-config to try WiFi. I haven’t seen the message I guess because I use Ethernet.
Hello! I had this problem after installing gnome de. I think this helped
sudo apt install network-manager network-manager-gnome
sudo systemctl disable --now dhcpcd
sudo systemctl enable --now network-manager
nm-applet
Please let me know if it helped
@@obvious_giraffe8386 @leepspvideo Was looking for an answer, then saw this pinned.. forgot if it was wpasupplicant or dhcp being the conflict with KDE.. Actually, if you installed KDE plasma using Pi OS lite all you'll need to do is ::
sudo apt install plasma-nm
sudo systemctl disable dhcpcd ... you may want to stop the service first before disabling it, just to be safe
reboot your pi.
cheers for jogging the noggin and getting me there ;)
@@KineticEgg excuse the noob questions: why do we disable the dhcp daemon? and do we re-enable it after rebooting?
i guess kde uses a different network manager - after disabling dhcpcd i got access to wifi manager in plasma. thanks for the help!
I really appreciate you doing these videos and explaining things as you discover what works and even what doesn't. That helps to focus on projects without wasting time. Thanks for this.
Ha, been called by your name many times..
Personally, I love KDE Plasma. It is a very beautiful desktop environment. Shame though that the compositor needs to be turned off on the Pi to get adequate performance :( Even without the fancy effects its still a visually-appealing interface. If you ask me, Feren OS has the best version of the KDE Plasma desktop. The only drawback is that Feren OS is Intel/AMD x86_64 only and doesn't support the Pi.
Very impressive, I can't believe this tiny thing is able to run plasma so fast. I'm still a little bothered by the youtube frame drop, though. Any good fix for that?
It’s only at the very start. After that I find it’s working great.
Once the computer caches what you use often. Its not a problem.
If the WiFi doesn't work after install, try this it worked for me
sudo systemctl disable dhcpcd
sudo /etc/init.d/dhcpcd stop
reboot
I am still waiting for 64bit TwisterOS...
Can I take an sd card from my pi400 and stick it in my pi4 and just boot it without any issues?
I regularly swap between the two. I can’t remember the last time something didn’t work
the thing that stops me from making rpi 4 ma desktop pc is that it can't play 4k youtube videos without too many frame dropping, and the fact you can't have every software you want in relation with mac, and especially windows!!! (for my desktop need, i use an m1 mac mini).
Bit of a price difference!. I also love my M1 MacBook Air.
Bro please giveaway me ❤️🥺❤️
I love kde, I just wish the experience using it in raspberry pi os was closer to in Manjaro. Mainly staying up to date and having better performance without losing the compositing features :/
Good video though! I might have to try this again, maybe in combination with debian sid unstable.
Going to install one on the back of my monitor after seeing this vid. I have an off grid system this would be perfected to replace my high wattage pc with on cloudy days.
i tried exactly the same thing on my pi400 and kept losing the cursor. rebooted after first time and had mouse until i did the keyboard shortcut to use pi key launcher and my mouse disappeared. had to rewrite pi64 to my sd card and start over again Without this KDE desktop and just keep pi desktop environment. been playing with pi400 for several months and every time i try making changes like the rest of the planet like this, my distro gets corrupted and i have to start over. im sticking to the default, tired of reinstalling apps.
wish i would have had better luck, oh well, at least i have the tried and true default desktop.
I have the same setup but with the powerful Raspberry Pi 400! 👍👍👍👍
Ah thanx God for my Ubuntu. All of this is just on my plate and desktop. Yea RPI4 is my best loosing investement.
Good walk through. You do know that 2147 mhz was a limitation of a 32 bit number in firmware, right? Now it's a 64 bit number, it's a rather oddly specific value to overclock to. I usually drop 2100 and voltage 6. You are at 8? Brave! Out of warranty limit iirc.
But how fast does it go at 8? (with cooling)
I have used 2147 Ov 8 for more than 2 years now
I have even tried it without cooling

I am in the midst of installing this exact setup. I have started to install it under the default username of 'pi'. This has proven to be a mistake since I want to be able to RDP to this setup BUT I cannot do so because xRDP will not allow more than one instance of a username to be logged in at once. Since all services seem to run under the user 'pi' I have had to create another username in order to rdp to into this machine. Here is the problem. If I now RDP into this machine under a different username - it opens up with the default Raspberry pi desktop - without any of the things I have installed in this video.
Is there a method of installing all your updates so they affect all users or am I better off starting all over again and adding a new user at the beginning. I took the day off work to do this today and have spent all day buggering about with xRDP and got nowhere. Very very frustrating limitation of xRDP. Clearly not your fault. I find your videos extremely informative and helpful and very well produced - so a massive thumbs up and thank you.
I do enjoy messing with linux but my god when you hit a a brick wall it tends to be made from concrete and about 10 feet thick.

Installed this a couple of weeks ago and love it. I have now installed it to my 8GB Pi4 in a 52pi rack same as yours. I did notice that there are a lot more options for what desktop you want to use on the log on screen and this includes versions of pi os with Wayland. I haven't tried them so dont know what they are like but thought i would let you know
one last Q... What key you have to press during boot on Pi4 to boot from USB Stick Fyde OS, with the aim of installing on a micro SD card?
Usb boot should work if you don’t have an sd card in the slot. Put the sd card in after your os has booted from usb and you can access it as a drive in most operating systems.

I'm about to update my own Pi to Bullseye 64 bit, so this video was quite on the mark! I had been thinking about trying out Gnome with the Material Shell, but this theme really looks nice and is performant! So now I'm a bit between... I may try Gnome first, just to see how well Material Shell performs, and then reinstall the OS if it doesn't.

It is possible to turn back to pi os lite after installing plasma kde enviroment?Autologin is possible with new enviroments installed or you must select it every time you boot?
You can use the get remove command. I would usually just flash a fresh os
For anyone having the hassle of installing Raspberry Pi OS Lite 64-bit and not having to boot automatically with KDE, try this fix.
1. Imager>Raspberry PI OS Lite (64-bit)
2. sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade
3. sudo apt install kde-plasma-desktop
~~Skip Steps 1 to 3, if you have been starting KDE using "sudo systemctl start sddm".
4. sudo systemctl enable sddm
5. sudo apt install lightdm. Pick sddm
6. sudo raspi-config
7. Select System options>S5 Boot/Auto Login>B3 Desktop and pick sddm.
8. System will ask for a restart. Reboot! Cheers!
or just type
sudo systemctl set-default graphical.target
whichever works for you.
RPi OS Bullseye 64 bit has been my daily driver since the stable version released, and I haven't had any issues with it. I really like the automatic notification of updates.
The updates still show in KDE with even more information.
I don't care as long as ctrl-tab actually works.
I've downloaded and flashed the KDE image file and have been using KDE for some months now. I have just changed my home network though and I noticed that there is no Wi-Fi icon like in gnome desktop. I can't seem to find any answer when googling either. The only way I could change my Wi-Fi SSID was via raspi-config. How can I access similar function like in gnome where it lists the SSIDs that I can connect to? And I can enable/disable Wi-Fi via the desktop like in gnome?
The answer is I think in the first link

You said if you have an FN on your keyboard you need to type that as well... well all of my keyboards and BIOSes are configured for the function keys are Standard FUNCTION keys not the extend function keys BS. I have several programs that extensively use the function keys so I do not want the when I need to press F2 rename or press F5 to copy from one pane to another pane in my favorite 2 pane file manager to have press another key to make the function keys work as they were intended to work since the birth of the 101 keyboard. I seldom use the extended Function Keys. Even the Logitech Windows keyboard that I have connected to my Mac uses the Function keys as standard Function keys and I have to use FN to change to the rarely used extended functions. I use the same Logitech K800 keyboard on 5 of my 7 computers. The 2 others I don't use it on are laptops. If KDE is going to change this I will stick with the standard Raspberry Pi OS 64bit desktop or Cinnamon (so I have the same experience on Pi as I do on my Linux Mint desktop top.)
It’s not a KDE thing. My Logitech keyboard shares the numbers with the F keys to make it more compact. Just like a lot of laptops you need the function key to access some other keys. You can use whatever shortcuts you like, as shown in the video I only press the Windows key to access the menu.
wonder when they'll update the OS Signature to report it as Raspbian 64 rather than "Debian GNU/Linux 11 (bullseye) aarch64"
32 bit Raspbian buster displays "Raspbian GNU/Linux 10 (buster) armv7l", so updating 64 bit signature must still be coming soon...
Good video. FYI I am also playing with an updated GARUDA= cinnamon sept 2022 ( not for Pi4 ARM), ARCH based OS for Linux. The KDE is very similar, uses ZEN RAM, Firedragon browser ( fork of Librewolf browser), high on privacy, uses SearXNG search engine. Icons and set is same as video, this OS responds very well on old HP laptop i5 8G ram along side Windows 7. Free to test for those interested.
I am intrigued by and want your system monitor as seen on your screen at the top-left at time index 0:14-0:16. What is it called? Is it "PhpSysInfo" or something similar?
Please let me know. I am eager to use it!

hello friend, very good video. Does this distro make the system heavier!? and another, I can't access the wifi network, what can I do?
I find it runs fine quicker for me because of the interface. See the response to the pinned comment for the wifi fix.
been adding KDE Connect to all my Linux boxes with a desktop including a lot of my Raspberry pi's it will transfer files from any device/computer to any device that has that software in a kind of add hock network arrangement...
Is this a good setup for a PLEX server BTW? I'm beginning to think that a plex server might be more suited to a headless setup.
Damn it! I just upgraded to 32bit bullseye a couple months ago. Here we go again...
I tried this and it initially boots to the kde login screen but as soon as I log in it goes back to the standard Raspberry pi screen. An ide what I am doing wrong?
It’s in the video. Select Plasma from the login screen.
- Really helpful that, thank you, all went without a hitch, I mainly use my pi400 for Vivaldi, VLC and Bespoke Synth, with a Behringer U-CONTROL UCA222 USB audio.
i think twister OS development has died. Guess I need to find new OS for my Pi.
It’s not had as much support for the Pi 4 lately. I will definitely still use it, the Wine integration is great.
How to install retroarch into this sistem like an adicional app to launch inside the raspberry os?

Hi Lee - is it ok to overclock without extra cooling, in your opinion? Running a pi4b in a standard okdo case - nothing special - no fan or anything.
I wouldn't. Especially with a Pi4
Try it. If it refuses to boot or gets unstable just reduce the overclock a little and try again. You won't break anything.
It’s best to have some sort of cooling. You could try Overclocking a small amount watching the temperatures.

What app do you use to overclock, iirc there was one in raspberry pi twisteros ?
See 11.40 in the video.
Dolphin has the filter bar, which is absolutely necessary for me, so I can find fast directories and files. The other file managers doesn't have it. The best theme is oxygen, but it should be installed from the package manager:

Thanks again Lee for being my go to Raspberry Pi channel. I really like your KDE/Plasma image but I think I'll follow this very useful video and install from scratch. I just like to know where everything is and anyway it's fun mucking about with RPi. Take care...
Awsome! Definitely Setting this up on my 8Gig this Weekend!
I tried KDE on the Pi a while ago. I'll have to try it again with 64 bit. KDE Connect is a great app. Hopefully the iOS version comes out of beta soon. Awesome video. 💯
Greetings! I almost freaked out when you kept saying to press the "Windows Key" but figured I knew what you meant (Raspberry Key) since I'm using the official RasPi red & white keyboard.
And just a note: I never had to do your "Windows button not working" procedure. It started fine and kept working fine. Of course, I am on KDE Plasma v. 5.14.5 and watching this video and setting up my desktop like yours today (TUE 06-SEP-2022).

Just did as I suggested in 64bit Raspberry Pi OS Lite.
Reboot then login. Desktop Working for me, has just prompted me to install updates.

What is the power usage of the Pi?
Low.
I have never fully tested, but arm is very efficient.
If you Overclock and plug more devices in it will use more power.
Or you could under clock

OMG!! This video is incredible! All with a raspberry pi? How much was your pi and where did you buy it? Thanks!! 😀
I paid £77 2 years ago. Unfortunately prices have changed.
You can do the same with a Pi 400 for less money. Video up in 3 hours.
Following along at home. Chromium will not launch for me. It comes up and closes out straight away. Have I gotten something wrong? RPi 400 is what I'm using. 64 bit Pi OS loaded. It seems a bit sluggish also.
Did you start with a fresh Raspberry Pi OS 64bit?
@@leepspvideo Yes, I did.
@@kge420 are you using an SSD drive? Chromium can be uninstalled then reinstalled with Pi Apps, they had an alternative version for people who have problems
@@leepspvideo Pi Apps route did the trick. Thanks for the heads up. I think that plasma is a bit too much for the pi400 as I get some lag when inputting a command. If I remember to do one thing at a time this isn’t an issue but if I go too fast the pi400 seems to have trouble keeping up. None of this is mission critical for me as these are just experiments while I learn the limitations of this model. Next I’ll give MXlinux a shot. I had that running on a 2008 MacBook and it ran beautifully. Thanks again and stay well.
thank you! i now have the pi system and desktop i wanted and i owe it all to your videos
I'm stuck at login on this install. The Session dropdown menu is blank and no options are given. I've typed in my raspi password for raspi username, hit enter ... and nothing happens. Does not boot into desktop. Any advice on how to proceed?
I haven’t had this. Are you using a greasy install of Raspberry Pi OS 64bit? Try selecting Plasma from the drop down menu if you have one.
@@leepspvideo Sorry, I don't have a clue what a greasy install is. I installed the 64bit lite, then kde plasma, then realised i needed to install a login manager. Installed lightdm, that didn't work, so uninstalled and got sddm instead. The layout shows US, when i enter the password, it changes to GB, but nothing in session.
Maybe i reinstall again from Raspberry OS ?
@@DarkFlake should have read clean install. Weird auto correct.
@@leepspvideo I went back to the beginning and reinstalled everything, following your tutorial. With the desktop version of Bullseye (rather than Lite) it went smoothly, using the setup wizard, which wasn't there before. I installed the IOTA-Dark Theme and Icons on mine. Thanks for replying and for all the information you provide in the videos.
I wonder when widevine DRM will arrive in 64 bit raspberry pi 4, Sir?
I’m not sure, this is the workaround for now

Hello leepspvideo. I truly appreciate your videos! I got to ask something about this particular video. How did you get your ssd to work on your Raspberry Pi for your OS's I tried several videos, to boot from ssd, and every attempt has been unsuccessful. I get this particular message to be exact. mmc1: controller never released inhibit bit(s) Can you create a video on how to set that up just in case you don't have one already. Thank you once again for such an amazing contribution to the Linux world.
If your bootloader is up to date the problem is most likely an incompatible sata cable. I always list one that works in the description.

You were absolutely right. It was a nada Sata cable, I replaced it, and right away it worked. Thank you!! Keep up the excellent work.
Absolutely fantastic fella, just one question I've got my pi running through sd card , do you recommend move to ssd? i'm using it primarily focus on office and developing projects.

Again, I thank you for the informative videos you create, highlight of my day is when a new one appears. Attempted to do this update on my Raspberry Pi 64 bit OS, booting using Pinn OS. Unfortunately, it doesn't appear to work and just hangs on the reboot. Looks like I will have to forgo using Pinn OS and revert back to placing the OS on an SD card if I want this to work. I am getting much calmer as I age, evidenced by the fact I haven't thrown the Pi through a window yet. Oh well, if it was easy everyone would be doing it.
For anyone wondering, I reinstalled Raspberry 64 OS using Pinn and applied the KDE Plasma update as described in the video. Everything now works. Moral of the story seems to be only perform the update on a fresh copy of the OS.
I'm a long time KDE user, I love it! Good choice for a truly full featured system.
Really appreciate you sharing this ❤ 🙏
What OS would you recommend for 2B Pie ? I was given this and would like to stream TH-cam videos. Thanks 👍

Hi I am getting bad screen tearing on TH-cam pi4 4gb kde plasma on sd card
Did you turn off the compositor?
I Overclock to at least 2147 normally and block 60fps

leepspvideo Was about two weeks ago. No worries, i'll tell you again lol Recently picked up a Pi 400, with Raspberry OS on a SD card I used an overclock of 2.3Ghz on the CPU with a 750hz overclock on the GPU and saw it was still a bit slow. Found out that even when using Raspberry OS on a 400 or a PI4 8GB, it still sets up a page file. So even on a Pi 4B with 8GB, anything that uses ram goes to the page file first and not the ram. I disabled the page file with this command: sudo systemctl disable dphys-swapfile.service I then loaded up a 4K demo on TH-cam (Sony 4K demo) using Chromium 95/98 (whatever is the latest installed on Raspberry OS) played it at 1080p 50FPS and to my surprise I only dropped 7 frames at the beginning of the video. Played another video and dropped about 7-9 frames at the beginning and that was it. Tried with Twister OS but it kept crashing for some reason that I have not figured out yet but on Raspberry OS I can repeat the same test and get the same results
Question: Does the update notification taskbar icon still work with the KDE desktop?
Yes
Thank you, Lee.
could you share that update script you mention please Lee?
I meant to add it to the description
sudo apt install gparted -y && sudo apt install rpi-imager -y && sudo apt install neofetch -y && sudo apt install transmission -y && sudo apt install xrdp -y && wget -qO- raw.githubusercontent.com/Botspot/pi-apps/master/install | bash && curl -sSL git.io/JfAPE | bash
If you don't like theme elements they can be changed individually
Its very customisable
I didn't notice a network icon in the bottom of your screen. Does this show up and allow you to configure WiFi?
I use Ethernet. However in my test KDE I connected the WiFi with.
sudo raspi-config
@@leepspvideo Thanks for the video it is great!!! The only issue i have is that i connected to wifi on raspberry pi os, i m still connected on kde , but on kdes network manager wifi is disabled....

How hot does that Samsung bar USB stick get?
It gets reasonably warm. Nowhere near to hot to touch
@@leepspvideo Thanks for the reply and hope all is well? I asked as i have other Samsung usb sticks and they get too hot to be used as a boot device so it looks like i will have to get the sane one as you have.
Thanks for the video. A few questions. What are the primary advantages to using KDE vs Pixal? Does it load down your system at all or does it seem just as responsive overall? Why do you use it? Are there any problems with KDE that you find annoying (other than the Win key becoming inoperable when switching themes)? Regarding themes, what are the best repositories for KDE themes?
Appreciate any help.
On another subject, you seem to show the 240G Crucial SSD but you aren't showing the Amazon links for it (just the 120G version). What is that exactly and how are you connecting that to your Pi?
I haven’t noticed any impact on speed. I do find it much more intuitive to launch apps and many other functions (shown in tomorrows video) I also prefer the aesthetics.
I have added the SSD and usb sata cable links. I use mostly the short usb sata linked in my UK store. I also use the ugreen cable linked in the US and other countries section.
Thanks for the info and updated links. I did recently purchase the 120G SSD from Cytron (Makerdisk) and the uGreen USB 3 cable but haven't installed yet. I see you did a video recently about this SSD and comparisons with the M.2 version. What is the main reason for going with M.2 vs SSD? How much faster do you find the M.2? And difference in built quality and how much better may one hold up over the other? I try not to be too rough on my gear but I am always carrying my Pis around in a carrying case and want to minimize any problems. Lastly, in your continued use of these 2, which do you like better and why? Appreciate any info you can share. Thanks
@@christopherlyons7613 M.2 is faster but not by a lot. Speed test results in the description of this video.

Hey lee, It's up :D
Thanks for showing the performance. I wonder if 4 GB of RAM will be a problem, but I think I'll give it a go on my 400, because mutter in buster has been brutal between the flickering browser windows and broken virtual desktops.

Yes its just a bit heavier. Overclock and ssd. Might be easier to get ubuntu and the extension-manager from flathub and go crazy theming :D
@@obvious_giraffe8386 thanks mate. I'm currently running pop os overclocked with SSD. Thought gnome on raspberry pi os might be a bit lighter then pop.

Thanks for the video, great. I have some problems with Pi400 though. I can't get the keys to create the shortcuts to work (how to do it?) And then I can't find the Pi-Apps (not even the Pi-Apps setting), I search for it but I can't find it even if I launched your script that you inserted under the video. How to do? A thousand thanks
The Windows key is the Pi symbol on a Pi 400. You don’t need to press the fn button.
