I didn't look for many many months, and somehow in that time MXLinux drifted to the top of the stack in DistroWatch!
How did this happen?

Re: Personal impressions on MX-Linux 17
MX Linux is the perfect distribution for me. My hat is off to all those who have dedicated time and energy to it. My personal impression is that the look & feel is close to perfect. After messing around with kde for a while I realized why xfce is the default and only supported desktop. For those...

Re: MX17 - KDE?
I'm OK with screwing things up in XFCE, I like KDE and I have a core-i7 with 16gb RAM so I want my full desktop environment. If I really screw it up, no biggie I will just wipe and reinstall. I sometimes do that for fun anyways, just to keep things fresh. All files and documents are in dropbox and s...

Re: MX17 - KDE?
I'd like to run a few select KDE apps in XFCE, such as Konsole and Dolphin, maybe others. Would I be better just installing the ones I want, or installing the full KDE desktop. I don't want to screw up my system too bad. If I install the KDE desktop and don't end up wanting it all will i be able to ...

Re: MX17 - KDE?
After messing around with KDE, I realized that you guys are all correct in your assessment that XFCE is just better. Once I turned on compositing I realized I'm perfectly happy with it.

Re: MX17 - KDE?
I did install KDE from the package manager and it looks and feels very reasonable. Is it my imageination, or are the KDE fonts not rendered as nicely as in XFCE?
Thanks for your pointers.

Re: MX17 - KDE?
Have you looked at the result of using Package Installer to install KDE? I understand that is pretty nice, and would be interested in hearing what you think. I have not done that yet, but I will do so in a VM and see if the experience is good. Right now I'm under deadline and don't have time for th...

Re: MX17 - KDE?
So @cgriffin, it appears what you actually don't like the thing that I think is silly about Manjaro is all of the nonstop updates is the rolling nature of Manjaro, not so much the actual distro functionality. That's ok but a bit harsh to call it "silly" when they make no secret of what th...

Re: MX17 - KDE?
Hi Stevo, the thing that I think is silly about Manjaro is all of the nonstop updates. I realized at some point that I have a computer to get work done, and keeping the OS at the bleeding edge is not work that I'm interested in doing. I got bigger fish to fry. All said and done, my Manjaro experienc...
