Install KDE + XRDP on Debian 12 (LXC Ready)

Hey everyone! :) In this guide I'll explain how you can install KDE Plasma on Debian 12 with xrdp. Fully compatible with LXC containers too!

1. Update the system

apt update && apt upgrade -y

apt install -y kde-plasma-desktop

Or use the full desktop environment:

apt install -y task-kde-desktop

apt install -y xrdp

echo "startplasma-x11" > ~/.xsession

systemctl enable xrdp
systemctl start xrdp

Use any RDP client and connect to port 3389. Login with your Debian user account.

Now, have fun with KDE :) cheers!

⚠️ If you get a black screen, make sure KDE is installed and ~/.xsession is correct.
