<p>Plasma 6.0.0 was <a href="https://kde.org/announcements/megarelease/6/" rel="nofollow">released</a> recently and two minor releases, <a href="https://kde.org/announcements/plasma/6/6.0.1/" rel="nofollow">6.0.1</a> and <a href="https://kde.org/announcements/plasma/6/6.0.2/" rel="nofollow">6.0.2</a> are already out, too. If you&#39;re on Arch Linux and you want to try this desktop environment but prefer to have a <em>minimal</em> set of packages, I have a metapackage you can use as is or to build your own. You can get it at <a href="https://codeberg.org/brunomiguel/minimal-plasma/" rel="nofollow">Codeberg</a> or <a href="https://github.com/brunomiguel/minimal-plasma/" rel="nofollow">Github</a>.

Both repositories have the PKGBUILD for building the package and the up-to-date binary package. Of course, you shouldn&#39;t blindly trust the binary package and are advised to build it yourself from the PKGBUILD. I only leave it there so I can quickly install it if I decide to reinstall Arch, and I don&#39;t want to spend a minute or so downloading the dependencies and building it.</p>

<p>PS: I have similar metapackages for <a href="https://codeberg.org/brunomiguel/minimal-gnome" rel="nofollow">GNOME</a> and <a href="https://codeberg.org/brunomiguel/minimal-xfce" rel="nofollow">XFCE</a>.</p>
