I’m new to Linux… I started to experience issues with KWin after installing GNOME, it was working fine before that but now it doesn’t appear
It raises this error when it starts:
kwin_xkbcommon: XKB: inet:334:58: unrecognized keysym "XF86EmojiPicker"
It frequently raises the following errors:
qt.qpa.xcb: QXcbConnection: XCB error: 3 (BadWindow), sequence: ..., resource id: ..., major code: 12 (ConfigureWindow), minor code: 0
qt.qpa.xcb: QXcbConnection: XCB error: 3 (BadWindow), sequence: ..., resource id: ..., major code: 18 (ChangeProperty), minor code: 0
I use Plasma 5.27.5 on X11, Debian 12
So you have two desktop environments in the same distro install? If so never a good idea they and and most likely will cause problems with each other.
You are right, I uninstalled GNOME afterwards but still facing the same issues
you could try the purge option to completely remove all the .config files… but there is a chance it will remove something needed by kde.

I removed residuals of many packages including other desktop environments I had installed too
This has fixed KWin

Gnome and Plasma don’t mix well.
At the very least, I usually advise using a different USER if you must install both - but it would be better to use a completely different installation.
