Shuffle for Plasma

How to install Shuffle.

It takes three steps and one sign-out, on an up-to-date Arch Linux or CachyOS with KDE Plasma 6.8. You need your key from the purchase email.

Before you start

  • A 64-bit Intel or AMD PC with Arch Linux or CachyOSOn Windows? Install CachyOS with Plasma first, then come back.
  • KDE Plasma 6.8, Wayland sessionPlasma's default is Wayland.
  • Your keyIt came by email after you bought Shuffle. Lost it? Email support@shuffleplasma.com from the address you bought with.

Bring your computer up to date

Shuffle is built for today's Plasma, so update first. Open Konsole, run this, answer yes, then restart.

sudo pacman -Syu

Step 1 of 3

Download with your key

Paste your key on the Download page. Shuffle-install.sh, about 90 MB, lands in Downloads and already carries your key.

Step 2 of 3

Run it in Konsole

Type your password once. When pacman asks to remove plasma-keyboard, type y: Shuffle's Keyboard takes its place.

bash ~/Downloads/Shuffle-install.sh

Step 3 of 3

Set up, then sign out once

The Set up Shuffle window opens by itself. Choose Set up, pick your look, then sign out. Sign back in and a short tour shows you around.

Get your apps

Set up's last step offers an app store and the apps Shuffle recommends. For Steam, Office files, printers and the rest, Help has a short answer for each.

Updates come by themselves

  • Your key is already in. New versions of Shuffle arrive with the rest of your system's updates.
  • Keep updating as you always do: sudo pacman -Syu, or Check for updates in Search.

If something goes wrong

  • The install stops with an errorIf pacman stopped, nothing on your computer changed. Email the last few lines to support@shuffleplasma.com.
  • Shuffle won't start after sign-inAt the sign-in screen, choose “KDE Plasma (turns Shuffle off)” for plain Plasma.

Changed your mind later?

In Shuffle Settings, choose About, then Turn off, and sign out: plain Plasma is back. To remove Shuffle completely after that, run this in Konsole. Your apps and files are never touched.
