KDE Linux/Develop other non-KDE software
Common build tools are pre-installed, so the hard part here is usually getting the software's dependencies, since KDE Linux doesn't include a package manager you can use to install them.
If the dependencies are available in Homebrew, getting them there is usually the lowest-friction approach.
If not, Distrobox will be a better option, following the build instructions for the project itself in a container for the project's best-supported Linux distro.
If the software you're compiling needs to be installed systemwide, set up a systemd extension to hold it.
