Yeah, I completely forgot that during the install Debian gave me multiple choice for the DE. I think I am using GNOME. I don’t remember if I chose it on purpose or it was the default choice and I just rolled with it.
sudo apt remove gnome task-gnome-desktop gnome-core gdm -y
# alternatively you could also “sudo apt purge *gnome*” but there is a possibility dependencies may get caught up in thissudo apt install kde-full kde-plasma-desktop task-kde-desktop sddm -y
# You’ll likely get prompts throughout the installsudo apt autoclean
sudo apt autoremove -y
sudo reboot
I’m using Debian/Plasma and I have a task bar. Maybe it’s optional or depends on environment?
Now you’re making me think I should get rid of my task bar…

Gnome is typically the default for Debian, if you want that taskbar here is the doc to install KDE Plasma.
Essentially:
sudo apt remove gnome task-gnome-desktop gnome-core gdm -y # alternatively you could also “sudo apt purge *gnome*” but there is a possibility dependencies may get caught up in this sudo apt install kde-full kde-plasma-desktop task-kde-desktop sddm -y # You’ll likely get prompts throughout the install sudo apt autoclean sudo apt autoremove -y sudo reboot
