i think the easiest way to get KDE the way you like it is to install KDE from MXPI and just set it up the way you like it rather than what someone else likes .... there are infinite options

there is no better way of learning about a DE than setting it up yourself from scratch

i also have start up music... hurdy gurdy music ......but would not want to inflict it on anyone else as a spin :)

I don't think Adrian has a KDE plasma respin. And Stevo's is from 2 releases ago, I believe. It wasn't even plasma, but kde4.

[CORRECTION : looks like Adrian does have a plasma spin.]

Well, yes. And it takes a very, VERY long time to download, it seems. Still 2% after 3 hours.

I'm not meating my deadlines so I need to install a spin which I can tweak a little quickly before getting accustomed to, say, i3wm or Awesome.

well ... at the current rate, your respin is going to take 4 days to download

installing Plasma would have taken about 30 minutes ... plus say another 30 to set it up

I'm honestly thinking about just sticking with XFCE or downloading a Mate spin at this point. Because I don't care about a DE anymore. At least MX works. I tried Solus. I tried Elementary. I tried openSUSE (GeckoLinux fork). None of them worked properly. It's a nightmare.

Respins are not official in any capacity.

For critical day to day please use the official version and get a grasp of any respins in a VM until you are ready.

Also, let’s get this thread back on track, it’s not a individual respin help thread.

ACTUALLY I started the download again and it shows that 1h 30m are left. It goes rather fast. I don't know if it's due to the server or not. So I might actually be able to try Adrian's spin.

My respin is based on MX-18, just be aware of that, it's called 19.6 because it was released in June 2019

I already figured it out the moment I booted up the live CD. Although it is the most functioning KDE respin I tested, that's for sure.
