The KDE desktop should be in the repository

sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y

sudo apt install task-kde-desktop

once you have configured it
reboot

once you have installed and configured KDE you can then uninstall mate
in the past I have used terminal command

its showing this dpkg: error: --purge needs a valid package name but ‘mate-’ is not: illegal
package name in specifier 'mate-’: character ‘*’ not allowed (only letters
, digits and characters ‘-+._’)

Type dpkg --help for help about installing and deinstalling packages [*];
Use ‘apt’ or ‘aptitude’ for user-friendly package management;
Type dpkg -Dhelp for a list of dpkg debug flag values;
Type dpkg --force-help for a list of forcing options;
Type dpkg-deb --help for help about manipulating *.deb files;

Options marked [] produce a lot of output - pipe it through ‘less’ or 'more
’ !
after typing sudo dpkg --purge mate- --force-all

I installed KDE on my Parrot OS Home and I can tell you that

sudo apt install parrot-desktop-kde

did not work so I looked up how to just install KDE normally on debian and it worked fine
