Switching from GNOME to KDE

Our Neighbors Asahi Linux Ask Asahi

What is the best way to switch from GNOME to KDE on Asahi? I noticed other distros (like Ubuntu) seem to have a separate metapackage for Kubuntu in order to switch environments. Is there something similar with Asahi, or can one simply run sudo dnf install @kde-desktop?
Additionally, would I miss out on Asahi- and/or Fedora-specific features on KDE (if there are any) that I would’ve gained had I installed KDE during my initial install?

Thanks!

I used these steps:

sudo dnf group list
sudo dnf group install "KDE Plasma Workspaces"

# And change your session manager
sudo systemctl disable gdm
sudo systemctl enable sddm

# reboot
