Hello,

I want to try Adélie Linux in a VirtualBox VM. After doing the manual install, and `apk add kde`, what do I need to do to use KDE? Is there a way to boot to a graphical login window?

If you don't want a display manager you will need xinit pkg a .xinitrc file on your home directory with the command
exec startkde
at the end of the file. I don't use kde, I use openbox and it worked (exec openbox-session)
Then when you log in you can use xinit or startx and you will be in KDE

I am not part of the adelie team, just a user. I hope I helped.

If you get a rights error, I don't remember, you will need a file in /etc/X11 :

/etc/X11/Xwrapper.config

with the following line in it:

needs_root_rights = yes

Then issue startx again and you should be on.
