How to install all KDE apps

kazimierzkrauze · February 6, 2025, 5:40pm

Hi! I am running NixOS with both Plasma and Gnome but I noticed today that some applications aren’t installed by default. For instance I couldn’t find KDE’s partition manager, I had to install it manually. Is there a way to install whole bundle of KDE apps?

Best, Miro

Sadly no.
If you haven’t installed KDE than you need to install the KDE/Plasma applications you want seperate.
But If you want a list of them take a look at the github source of nixpkgs. There you can find wich packages get installed with KDE:

github.com

NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/00d32b57787faf35a8fe49922f270cdac243383a/nixos/modules/services/desktop-managers/plasma6.nix

{
  config,
  lib,
  pkgs,
  utils,
  ...
}:
let
  cfg = config.services.desktopManager.plasma6;

  inherit (pkgs) kdePackages;
  inherit (lib)
    literalExpression
    mkDefault
    mkIf
    mkOption
    mkPackageOption
    types
    ;
