kde-plasma-desktop vs kde-full

I use MX linux ver. 23.2 bookworm with the xfce desktop. If I want to try the kde plasma desktop, should I install kde-plasma-desktop or kde-full ?

2 xfce check boxes in MX package installer

Why are there 2 xfce check boxes in the MX package installer ?
Under desktop environments, the bottom xfce checkbox shows
installed, the top one is not.
Is there a difference between the two ?

Re: tile 3 apps

There seems to be 2 apps that can be used to tile windows within xfce.
They are Shinglify and xpytile, but they are not in the MX regular repositories.
Nor are they in the backports or testing repositories.
Not really sure if they are actual apps or xfce add ons.
How can I add them to xfce ?

tile 3 apps

I'm using MX linux 23.2 with the xfce desktop.
Is there any way to tile more than 2 apps vertically like you can in antix ?

Re: Can't install MX23

Just create a small (say 256 MiB) fat32 formatted partition and flag esp (and boot while you're at it) ... then during installation select /boot/efi for that under "Use For" column... (attention: not /boot , that one is for a separate boot partition, not ESP / EFI etc..) Sorry, but I don'...

Text editor with print preview

Does anyone know of a linux text editor (the simpler, the better) that has print preview ?
I have tried quite a few, and none of the ones I tried has print preview.

Re: Computer ps won't turn on when usb printer plugged in

Thanks everyone for the help.
I got another printer USB cable and now it seems to be working fine.
So, it appears the cable was bad like some had suggested.
