KDE Plasma Workspace annoying context boxes

Support
1

Hi, AlmaLinux 9.7 here.

I then decided to install KDE via instruction here > AlmaLinux After-Installation Guide | AlmaLinux Wiki

By passing > sudo dnf groupinstall "KDE Plasma Workspaces"

Then machine was power cycled. Now when using Gnome I am seeing various entries related to KDE in the applications menu, is this typical?

Also at SDDM when selecting and starting Gnome, a KDE Connect Daemon closed unexpectedly dialog box is displayed (each time Gnome is started).

Then machine is power cycled.

At SDDM when selecting and starting KDE, a smaller dialog box popup titled Dr Konqi: KDE Connect has closed unexpectedly displays. It seems to display often. Example, attempting to play music video with VLC.

Just wondering if this is typical behavior? Is there something I can look into more deeply on how to possibly resolve this?

Edit: When attempting to use DR. Konqi to report the bug it will not succeed and the spinning gear continues to turn..…..

-Thanks

Generally, you don’t get to run both 2 desktop environments at the same machine without problems. They interfere in all kinds of ways and startup jobs having issues is expected.

Though there is an app that tries to fix most of this and that works quite well in my experience: Mending Wall on Flathub

Make sure Flathub repo is enabled otherwise flatpak install mendingwall won’t find anything:
