My Advice for KDE
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.
