You didn't slow down because you're old; you're old because you slowed down.

Would that be package kde-full?

Joany: if you decide to try it, we would be very interested in having a careful report of what you do and how it comes out.

Re: KDE on MX?
FWIW, I've tried LXDE on MX-14.
The Meta-installer worked perfectly; logging out, changing session, and logging back in left me with a fully functional fairly standard LXDE desktop. There was no wallpaper. Everything I (briefly) tested worked as expected.
RAM usage idle was 130MB; fetching a page in QupZilla peaked as 200MB
This compared with 180MB idle, and 250MB fetching a web page with Xfce.

That sounds about right: http://wiki.xfce.org/minimum_requirements

Re: KDE on MX?
I'm going to install MX-14 in VirtualBox later today (maybe tonight) and I'll try installing KDE using the meta-installer. I'll let you know how it turns out.Jerry3904 wrote:Joany: if you decide to try it, we would be very interested in having a careful report of what you do and how it comes out.

In the meantime, I see that chrispop99 already had some success in installing KDE.
In light of the moribund status of SM, I'm aiming at moving to MX-14 as my production distro, but I prefer KDE instead of the lighter XFCE. My present box, albeit old, has fairly robust RAM and CPU capabilities and it should handle KDE pretty well.

Re: KDE on MX?
@ Joany:
It's the lightweight LXDE that I have tried.
Your enquiry has prompted me to try KDE via the Meta-installer; I'm doing it now, and will report later.

Re: KDE on MX?
It should work ok, but it will be a 'vanilla' install. You will need to make your own customisations eg wallpaper, icons etc.
