Does KDE have a troubleshooting page or a FAQ page?

Hello,

A friend on the Internet wanted me to use KDE for a project. However, I hadn't cleared enough junk files on my computer to run it, and trying it again afterward led to problems with the dependencies:

kde-standard is already the newest version (5:142).
You might want to run 'apt --fix-broken install' to correct these.
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 kde-standard : Depends: okular (>= 4:22.12.3) but it is not going to be installed
                Depends: plasma-dataengines-addons (>= 4:5.27.2) but it is not going to be installed
                Depends: plasma-pa (>= 5.27.2) but it is not going to be installed or
                         kmix (>= 4:22.12.3) but it is not going to be installed
                Depends: plasma-runners-addons (>= 4:5.27.2) but it is not going to be installed
                Depends: plasma-wallpapers-addons (>= 4:5.27.2) but it is not going to be installed
                Depends: plasma-widgets-addons (>= 4:5.27.2) but it is not going to be installed
                Depends: sweeper (>= 4:22.12.3) but it is not going to be installed
                Recommends: konq-plugins (>= 4:22.12.3) but it is not going to be installed
                Recommends: plasma-nm (>= 4:5.27.2) but it is not going to be installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt --fix-broken install' with no packages (or specify a solution).


Thanks,
Matt Timpson 🍉

> What Desktop Environment do you have installed? You will need either Dolphin (KDE), file roller (GNOME) or some other archiving application. You can use the archiving application to manually extract the contents of the .deb. I personally use KDE which is very nice and feature rich. GNOME Desktop these days requires 4GB of RAM to run smoothly.
