I am telling @Frog that theming takes a bit of time, but the result is beautiful.

Running Solus Plasma on my older laptop and it's smooth, cool, and fast as compared to Win 10. This is my first extended try of KDE in all my years on Linux. I chose Solus because it's been a very stable rolling release for me and I was tired of distro hopping on that computer.

Guys, I didn't find Solus good in any way. I used it's GNOME version, it started giving me boot errors and then I tried Solus Budgie. It was looking beautiful but was not able to install it whatsoever. Solus Plasma had a few bugs, decided to leave it. Currently using Fedora 35 and KDE Neon 5.23.4

I agree that eopkg package manager is somewhat good, but it's confusing. I love 'apt' and 'DNF' package manager. Simple and very detailed :grinning:. Their forums are good, but people take a TON of time to respond. I remember that when I has problem with Solus GNOME, I posted the issue and got a reply after many days. The good thing is that the OS Founder also reply people, which assures the person having the issue that the solution mentioned by the founder might be correct.

Have not used Fedora , but tried Neon and found it buggy and was disappointed because all great reviews I'd seen . Probably just a hardware at the root of it all. I ran Solus Budgie with out issue on the same computer before having to put Win 10 back on.

However it worked super nice in my computer. Try Fedora, you would love it. Have you tried KDE Neon 25th Anniversary Edition?

Have you tried KDE Neon 25th Anniversary Edition?
That is the version I tried, I'll put in a VM and give it a go again. :grinning:

Hahah, can't do anything to it then :sweat_smile:

Got it running , but working on saving screen resolution settings. Behaving differently than other distros. Can't get Neon to save a resolution setting like other distros , reverts to 800 x 600 immediately.

If you want a speedy lightweight DE then give LXQt a whirl with KWin. It uses KDE libraries and definitely not slow. Then again I do have 16 Gb RAM available.

What does that mean? Please explain. I have been itching to try out lxqt.

KDE uses Qt libraries so no conflict if you have KDE installed.

Hmm do you know if we can use kde themes in lxqt? I heard that lxqt and kde are very similar.

Cool! I would add trying lxqt in my to-do list.

In terms of Software store Discover in KDE, I have had mixed experience. In terms of updates Apper is simply the best and also good for App installs and Synaptic is still usable in KDE.

Muon package manager seems to be a clone of synaptic in kde.
In fact kde seems to have clones of all popular apps and utilities.

How to install LXQt here:

In Devuan it is one of the DE's you can have at point of Install (LXQt is now the default DE in Devuan (previously xfce), but you can also have:
Cinnamon
xfce
Gnome-flashback
KDE (Plasma)
MATE
