🎄 KDE Plasma Christmas Customization (Step-by-Step)
In this video, I show how to transform the default KDE Plasma desktop on EndeavourOS into a festive Christmas-themed setup.
The same steps work on almost any Linux distribution running KDE Plasma.
Only package installation commands may vary slightly.
IMPORTANT: If you get easily overwhelmed, try this on a virtual machine or create a proper Timeshift backup. There is no single “reset to default” button in KDE, so reverting changes is manual.
