Well, then that's an issue on its own. I only wanted to try out a minimal KDE
Plasma desktop environment, just like I'm trying out Cinnamon. That is, at the
login screen, to be able to select KDE Plasma to log in with. I didn't want to
"transform" my Ubuntu into Kubuntu, or to install a huge lot of bloated
packages, and I certainly didn't want to change my boot splash screen. If there
is no way to install a reasonably minimal installation of the desktop
environment, then that's an issue.

This is where I got the idea that installing kde-standard seemed to be what I
needed:

I am not "super surprised" either because I wouldn't be super surprised if a
fresh install of Ubuntu on a brand-new laptop out of the top of the list of
suggested hardware crashed at boot.

However, surprising or not, it is definitely not ok that merely installing a
package would brick your computer without warning.
