You can check for the plasma-desktop dependencies like this sudo apt depends plasma-desktop | grep Depends | cut -f2 -d: >> plasma-desktop-dependencies.txt and can manually remove them by creating list of those and applying sudo apt remove listed_packages and then just install the ubuntu-desktop as it is a ready made gnome desktop environment.
Or try apt remove plasma-desktop && apt autoremove && apt install ubuntu-desktop
which will remove kde components and install the Ubuntu-gnome desktop with lightdm and to make sure to use lightdm as dm, run sudo dpkg-reconfigure lightdm and it supposed to pop up a window to choose between DMs, choose lightdm and edit $HOME/.dmrc and set
[Desktop]
Session=gnome
to have gnome as default DE.
