That's because this is a fresh install and pointed to Ubuntu repos - I don't intend using 16 as my go to - Devuan 3.1.1 is my go to - been using it since Christmas as SysVinit is much more secure than SystemD boot process. 
And that uses an older version of KDE but it is usable - I was even able to use Remmina Remote Desktop in Devuan to log in to my Z drive at work and move things to Office365 with one log on instead of three when I was using a VM of Windows 8.1 primarily to access an Outlook account I could not get to work in Evolution! My only other comment is that 'bleeding edge' normally leads me to reach for the nearest pack of 'band aid'!

A modified desktop with one of my own walls:
This time with Tiled Menu (aka Win 10 menu)
Just to add that in KDE if you change the cursor theme and you still get Breeze showing on the desktop you just edit the cursor theme file as stated here:
You also need to edit the top line to to change to the name of your chosen new theme.

Forgot to add, Konqueror still has issues - could view most of the site but not the forum - just a white page! The other pages of zorinos could be viewed easily.
Whilst the Devs have correctly installed Evolution they should have had its companion, Firefox ESR available for Corporates as it is the only version of Firefox that can be locked down at the IT Department end!
Well guess what? It appears KDE has gone down the same route as those clueless fools at Gnome - Pulse Audio is embedded in 5.22! According to someone on Artix forum they have managed to remove all pulseaudio with the exception of libpulse to prevent breaking the system. The archwiki is quite lengthy on sound config!

I can see I have got my retired work cut out!

I suspect, they will keep us all busy, for a long time...
What's the issue with Pulse Audio? It's a part of the system, why do you want to rip it out?
Haha nice! We should call it Korin!

Partly because it was written by the same guy that wrote systemd and partly because as a professional musician on the Devuan forum states that all it does is add bloatware and latency. Plus I want to be able to have a system that I control. That is the whole point of GNU/Linux - power to the users, not the corporates like Red Hat who want to be the Microsoft of the Linux world = bloatware!

Problem with Cinnamon is it relies on Pulse audio. 
SWARF!!! has more Linux skill then most of us, its well within his means to rip out a key component that would break his system, then replace it with something else, and have his system working normally again.
If I tried to do that, I'd be at a white screen of death before you can say by Granthars hammer, by the sons of woven, I avenge you.
I want the win 11 start menu on zorin OS Core but I don't want to install KDE can u give some ideas?
I replaced mine with Pipewire. I don't think removing PulseAudio will break KDE, did it break? Personally I find it indistinguishable.
I still use Pulse on Zorin
You can install Arc-Menu Gnome Extension
Well my delving into Artix is slowly coming to an end - I can install the printer but can't print from it. Discovered if I used the HP/Jet Direct on Devuan, no issues, but I still think that the fact that Canon is not listed in the Printers section is the issue. Perhaps I ought to go back to Amiga Shell ... I was just getting to grips with that when I took delivery of a PC running Windows 95 and started gaming instead of computing ... and they said the Amiga was just a game's machine! Perhaps I will end up going off-line permanently, back to my first love! ...

That looks like an IBM keyboard. I just wanted to let you know, those original IBM keyboards have a cult following for a good reason. They alone sell on Ebay more then a brand new Chromebook sometimes.
And if you can get that old computer running properly, it can easily be worth 800 dollars or more on the collectors market as well. LGR on Youtube often covers these old machines and talks about that.
This method don't break the system ?
Is safe to use ? I want KDE Plasma on my Zorin os.
