From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Don't know about Cachy. But the general way is to just install KDE and then change where you want to go in your login-manager. You might have to disable automatic logins to get that.
Many distributions have some kind of meta package that installs everything KDE related called kde, kde-desktop or plasma-desktop.
After everything is running how you like it you may remove all Gnome packages and install sddm instead of gdm as a login manager. But that's optional.
This is exactly what I was looking for confirmation on based on my limited reading lol. Ty. I’ll attempt this. If I brick it eh. I love tinkering. 💜😆
