That's not really gonna work.
You need to apply an actual distorsion filter on the gradient (ie. randomly move around quite some pixels) to avoid banding if you've a gradient across a thousand pixels that spans from #000000 to #111111

So you'd rather bring a prefabbed image and at best don't scale it, but preferably scale it UP (more pixels), not down (more banding)
Then plug the KDE logo in front of it.
