i need to switch ubuntu’s default terminal to the .deb version of Konsole and then safely uninstall the original without affecting the system or desktop. q2 asks how to remove or disable Gnome Software Center without breaking the OS, plugins, extensions, or desktop. Also, i prefer using .deb, appimage, or flatpak terminals for smoother updates and fewer bugs.

Konsole is part of K desktop in KDE. Installing it demands a significant amount of Qt and K desktop components, not just a single app. Review all dependencies before proceeding and check for related tools: Dolphin, Kdesktop / plasma, baloo, PIM, system-settings. If these are present, it may trigger the installation of K desktop (~500 MB). It bundles many programs you might not need if you only want Konsole. What aspects of Konsole appeal to you compared to Ubuntu’s options? You can attempt to remove gnome-terminal using: sudo apt remove --no-install-recommends gnome-terminal. I’m uncertain about the exact name, but avoiding recommended packages should limit additional installations. This approach may also help with removing unwanted software. You might try it when installing Konsole. https://askubuntu.com/questions/959353/d...at-startup
