I thought it was said in jest, actually.
In any case, the thread was originally about KDE Plasma 5, as there is still lots of interest about KDE in this forum (hence the MX+KDE subforum). It's just that KDE's preview images use Kubuntu as its base.

Is the KDE a hungry beast now on resources compared to say M11?
I have begun to notice some deterioration of M11's default capabilities for web pages like fb and yahoo mail although the video sites I use are fine. Calibre seems more outdated too than in MX-14. Just little things that crop up lately for me. I still run M12 and it's possible it might replace M11 as a main companion to MX-14.

I've noticed no loss of responsiveness (of KDE) using MX 14.x with KDE-Standard.tascoast wrote:Is the KDE a hungry beast now on resources compared to say M11?

Remember that Mepis 11 is squeeze-based so it's getting a little 'long in the tooth' so-to-speak.
Yes, even I am dishonest. Not in many ways, but in some. Forty-one, I think it is.

This used to work on M11, but I've not tested it to see if it still does. YMMV.su -c 'wget -nv -O- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kovid ... staller.py | sudo python -c "import sys; main=lambda:sys.stderr.write('Download failed\n'); exec(sys.stdin.read()); main()"'
You should uninstall the repo version first to avoid conflicts. This version also will not appear in the package manager. To uninstall the static version, the command is
Code: Select all
su -c 'calibre-uninstall'

Still some bugs. Not a full complement of widgets. Folder widget does not work. Dropbox widget does not appear in the system tray. Cascading menu has bugs . That is what I have discovered in the half hour I have been looking at it.
EDIT: It also nearly filled up my root directory. it was 57% free now 87% free. Being adventuresome I had to install it, but sorry I did. Fortunately I have a system backup and will revert.
