KDE on pine64? - jamiechang917 - 02-10-2017
Is it possible to run Kubuntu on the Pine64?I really want to use KDE desktop on my Pine64.

Try. You can install base image, then
Code:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktopRE: KDE on pine64? - Wizzard - 04-28-2017
Hi, have you tried it?
I am waiting for my Pinebook and would like to try Kubuntu desktop too.

Installing now. Will post my endeavours, whether they're good or not.
Kubuntu wants bigger /boot and crashes dpkg when I try to install it. The Mate desktop running on the pinebook as default is snappy and complete, so I see no reason to install KDE as it will probably be pretty sluggish. The accounts-part of Telepathy breaks during install, and now I can't install packages. The Pinebook is getting android anyways, so I can't be assed to spend more time trying to mess with KDE.
I guess you could do a sneaky dist-upgrade to KUbuntu Desktop with 50 megs more space on /boot, but be prepared for quite a lot of hacking and slamming your face into brick walls.

q4os image has elements of kde and i suppose you could install more . i think q4os is debian based.

Do you think is it possible to resize the partitions easy way?
