KDE and Enlightenment Update

KDE and Enlightenment Update

I have found a way to shed fat from the full blown KDE.

There are reason for it

 

I started with KDE and it has fantastic applications.

But what I do not like is it takes ages to mount due to its bulk.

 

1. Kdenlive is one of them which is much better than KODI that comes from X-Box Media Center (XBMC) from Microsoft. 

Everybody knows, I hate anything from Microsoft Windows.

2. I really like Konqueror, the browser

3. Kaffeine is the media player

 

4. Spectacle an excellent screenshot application

 

5. Sweeper clean up utility but I prefer Bleachbit of Gnome,

 

6. Dolphin  a very good file manager.

all these applications come with K in front except Dolphin and ? ?I forget

7. Problem with KDE is its themes especially Breeze and desktop wrappings which do not add to functionality.  

Once I fiddled with Breeze themes in MX Linux and I could not mount the Plymouth the boot login screen.

Plymouth is a graphical boot system and logger for Linux that runs before the file system is mounted. It provides a boot animation and handles user interaction during boot

This why I call it a rich lady with lot of fancy dresses which she cannot finish wearing during the 7 days of the week. 

Microsoft Windows I describes as rich but clumsy lady.

Please ladies do not get offended.

 

Just go to Synaptic package manager and select what one wants and it automatically selects Plasma Desktop which is the default.

Yet, one can even remove the desktop but one cannot go back to old KDE Desktop.

That is my point.

Enlightenment Desktop

One need not PAY Elive guys money.

Just use Synaptic Package Manager and install Enlightenment Desktop.

It is light and for old computers and very beautiful, elegant and eye catchy.

DO NOT fiddle with it unnecessarily if you have NVIDIA graphic card If you do not know what you are doing.
