Hello Friends,

I have a newly configured RHEL workstation. I would like to install KDE Plasma workspace on it as RHEL doesn't ship KDE desktop anymore.
I tried few methods from internet, but didn't work. I was wondering if it is possible to install KDE desktop environment of RHEL.
I have installed and enabled EPEL repository on the system. I tried with the following command.

sudo yum groupinstall kde-desktop

But was unsuccessful as it reported a set of errors.

Updating Subscription Management repositories.

(try to add '--skip-broken' to skip uninstallable packages or '--nobest' to use not only best candidate packages)


Any solution for this? Thanks in advance
