still in absolute shock at how light it is compared to Windows
KDE’s still the bloatiest we have though.
Would be nice if Trinity (KDE3) were still ubiquitously available across all distros’ repos.
Or I suppose we could just strip alllll the bloat, and use something like IceWM for a classic “Windows” feel. (Or LXDE. XFCE (bit bloatier), or any of a dozen(+) other DE/WM following that model (panel & startmenu)).
Heh, I was just suggesting IceWM (again) or JWM to someone on another thread, and then this^ is the very next thing I see.
I still have a soft-spot for Trinity(KDE3) though. It being where I started my GNU+Linux adventure. Completely confirmed my decision to leave Windows in 2003.
You can absolutely do that.
But do be careful with
kde-fullif you’re running very old hardware. I’m talking about <4gb DDR3, CPUs from Obama’s first term etc.I’m not saying KDE’s “bloated”; I am still in absolute shock at how light it is compared to Windows.
But if you are dealing with hardware that needs a daily lethal dose of donepezil, opt for
kde-standard(Difficult lesson I learned)

@Digit @tourist TDE is bloated too.; It’s good alternative to KDE, but if you have really resource-limited system, it’s better to use some WM
