It may be that it wants to uninstall some kde-plasma-desktop metapackage, not the whole bunch of all kde apps. If it is uninstalled, nothing crucially important happens. Try to remove it with apt if you’re running some Debian or Ubuntu flavour.
The problem is that the all those apps installed as dependencies will get marked as unused and removed with the next --autoremove (which you should probably do regularly to clean up old kernels.
The real fix would be to mark all those apps as explicitly installed, but I don’t use apt-based distros regularly so idk how.

You can then either ‘install’ them with
apt, which does essentially only mark installed packags as manually installed or use e.g. synaptic for that.Yeah but you’d need to do it for *everything* that’s affected, which is a lot.
