How to install MATE and remove KDE
I just installed Trisquel 8.0 with KDE. I'm not sure if I like KDE. I would like to try MATE instead. How can I install MATE so I can try it instead?
If I then decide to use MATE, I won't need KDE anymore. So how would I uninstall KDE?
Thanks :)

$ sudo apt install trisquel

At that point you might as well reinstall Trisquel using the regular
ISO. If for some reason this is not an option, you could try running
$ sudo apt remove triskel
$ sudo apt remove plasma-*
$ sudo apt autoremove
This might not remove every trace of KDE, though.
Thank you for your quick reply.
This is just a test install on a spare hard drive before I upgrade my main SSD from Trisquel 7 to Trisquel 8, so I will try to get KDE working, if not I'll try MATE and if that's good then I'll do a fresh MATE install from the ISO.
Thanks for the tips
