1. First with Debian Testing.
2. Second with Debian Gnome using Synaptic Package Manager.
3. Today with Debian 12.5.0, Starter CD1.
It seems it has nearly 1000 files and probably it uses 1200MB memory.
Last time I saw it failing with a Perl package at the end.
I even tried installing on only text mode to SEE on which package it get stuck.
KDE is the base for SuSe and Redhat and their community guys either deliberately or due to carelessness released a broken KDE system.
I just wanted to see how Plasma was getting on.
I use Gnome and did not bother testing it for over a decade.
I had a 67GB extra space in my NUC hard drive and tested KDE with MATE and Gnome.
It failed.
I think KDE tried to emulate Windows and that is their Failure Strategy.
Windows actually started in 1980s and I had an article on how window frames were developed in a commuter journal of early days.
Windows was a late adoption.
What it means is Windows within Windows, In early day RAM was the limiting factor and it could not handle Windows within Windows.
Whereas, Window Maker of Linux handled this to this day marvelously.
In fact there are several light weight Window makers which I have under Gnome hood.
Blackbox
Flushbox
Pekwm
IceWarm
and may more.
Windows within Windows of KDE and Plasma are also failures of memory control.
That is why I do not use KDE.
Linux kernel has 23 million lines of code.
I bet KDE / Plama probably has 100 million or trillion of coding, I believe.
What it should do is to cut it down to 50 millilon line of code.
Even then it cannot match original Window Maker of Linux.
By the way, I have three versions of Gnome in my hard disk of 320GN all are working fine.
