My Advice for KDE

I am a Scientific man.
I do not do things just for the fun of it.
KDE should first do a customer Survey to begin with.
In should do its own survey to see amount of resource of the memory footprint.
Should stop emulating Windows.
It should have its own soul like trinitu dedktop.
I spent lot of time removing stuff I never use.
It should have its own installer.
Using platform independent Calamares in not a good ploy.
It should have several varities of KDE just like wall papers.
It should have its own repository.
Let customer or user pick the add-on.
I tried the KDE distribution and it is bulky.
Debian KDE is smoother.
List sbove is enormous but with perseverance it cam be achieve.
The basic Distribution fit in with a 4GB USB. Rest of the features should be accessed during Installation.
Putting everthing in one DVD is not the right way.
Most distribution use XFCE for online installation and let one pick and choose the desired dedktop.
Look at how CachyOS does it.
That is why it is on top of www.distrowatch.com.
You are at the bottom of 100 distributions.
Nitrux is doiing a hash of a things and it is on the bottom, too.

Why I call KDE is a pain in YOUR Back

Why I call KDE and KDEN-Live is a pain in YOUR Back.

I started with Trinity.

Trinity is the Legacy KDE.

The Trinity Desktop Environment (TDE) is a complete software desktop environment designed for Linux and Unix like operating systems, intended for computer users preferring a traditional desktop model, and is free/libre software. Born as a fork of KDE 3.5 in 2010, it was originally created by Timothy Pearson, who had coordinated Kubuntu remixes featuring KDE 3.5 after Kubuntu switched to KDE Plasma 4.

TDE is now a fully independent project with its own personality and development team, available for various Linux distributions BSD and DilOS.

It is currently led by Slávek Banko

KDE has become a behemoth, now. 

It started accumulating things not relevant to the desktop which included KATE, Kwrite, LibreOffiec and many K utilities.

By the way, LibreOffice is also a behemoth. I just removed it and saved 1.2GB. 

After over 25 years KDE has decided to come out with a Distribution which has not solved its own problems. 

I tried it but I prefer Debian's KDE Desktop. 

By the way, ARCH based BlueStar Linux KDE is the most beautiful for me. I have it in my NUC System.

I hate its KWalletMaanger, too.


It has a few good utilities. 

 

I keep the good ones and remove the bad ones. 

 

Spectacle comes first and closely followed by Akergator

 

Kruler and Kmagnifier are pretty interesting. 

 

Because of its padding rule it has lost its key components. 

 

These are constructive  and not destructive views simply because it is a Linux derivative and I want it to succeed.

Too, many cooks spoils the broth/soup.
