    Maybe I can just post here and get a good explanation?

    I have been using PopOS for a while now and I am super happy with it, but last time it tried to switch from Gnome to KDE I ended up with a black screen after boot and had to reinstall from scratch.

    Does anyone have a good writeup on how to do it properly?

      Just install KDE (package name is probably something like kde-desktop) and reboot.

      Next login there’s a button bottom right for changing the DE. you don’t need to uninstall gnome desktop.

      What probably happened, is that you uninstalled your display manager when uninstalling gnome. This causes you to end up in tty when starting PC when there’s no app configured for the login window
