Re: MX17 - KDE?
I do enjoy the 64 bit with => 4 GiB RAM,
but the 32 bit, 1 GiB RAM netbooks are easier to carry around.
They are adequate on MX with a couple or 3 apps open: FF, LibO & Thunar;
although, admittedly slower than the 64 bit.
A 2 GiB RAM, 32 bit netbook is much better, so I hear.

Man, I thought I saw on Reddit that MX was working on a Plasma desktop version. A bummer as while I always hated KDE, Plasma 5 has really changed my mind on the DE.
Re: MX17 - KDE?
I'm very close to release a test KDE respin of MX. Probably by the end of the week.
Re: MX17 - KDE?
Will this have Xfce removed and replaced by KDE Plasma? I installed Plasma 5.12 on vanilla MX from Neptune repos a while back which worked fine but abandoned it due to much duplication of programs. Some MX Tools don't work with Plasma so ideally those should be removed also which sounds like a lot of work..
Ended up doing a netinstall of Stretch and added the same Plasma 5 with kde-plasma-desktop. This worked well but obviously doesn't have the nice MX Tools. Discussion about that is here - https://forum.mxlinux.org/viewtopic.php ... 36#p445636
I will be trying it out when it's released and appreciate your effort, Adrian!

Re: MX17 - KDE?
KDE Plasma? I may need to be educated on what KDE is like recently, because I haven't used it in seven years. I thought ever since KDE 4, the main KDE was "plasma workspaces." What, did KDE quit that because too many people dropped KDE in disgust like I did?sunrat wrote: ↑Wed Aug 15, 2018 9:40 pm Will this have Xfce removed and replaced by KDE Plasma?

Even if KDE's main product doesn't use plasma anymore, I can't imagine why MX would abandon XFCE. It works too well.
Re: MX17 - KDE?
MX is not abandoning Xfce, and not producing an official KDE release.
Period.

Re: MX17 - KDE?
KDE now consists of Frameworks, Plasma, and Applications.
