Beginners • Re: Raspbian Change DE to Plasma Mobile on startup

raspberry os is a custom install made of many parts to make it work, not very easy to undo there work, it's far from a standard desktop.

other setups are best built on top of raspberry os lite, for example i run lite + gnome

for you:
install lite and boot it

if you did not preconfigure the sd during creation, then run:
sudo nmtui
to setup wireless

next update:
sudo apt update && sudo apt -y full-upgrade

next install your bits:
sudo apt install plasma-mobile plasma-mobile-tweaks plasma-settings plasma-phonebook plasma-dialer spacebar angelfish okular-mobile kscreen

then set it to boot:
sudo systemctl set-default graphical.target

then reboot:
reboot

gnome is a standard desktop, only recommended if you got 4gb+ of ram, rpi5 can run it good, rpi4 is a bit slower.
