MX+KDE=heaven!

[subluminal]

MX KDE would be great !!! Pretty much the only thing I dislike about MX is that it has no offcially supported KDE. I'm using Dolphin, Krusader , Kate, Konsole ,Yakuake, Nomacs (already was installed with XFCE) , Digikam, SMplayer, Qbittorrent , all QT apps and all but the SMplayer , Qbittorrent and Nomacs are KDE apps which integrate just that little bit better in a full (or better yet minimal) KDE Plasma Desktop. Also had a little trouble with XFCE compositor but that was easy enough to fix. Not to mention every QT app looks a bit funky in XFCE or any other GTK based DEs like Gnome or Budgie. But I'm biased towards QT apps and KDE in general so it could be that.

Looking forward to KDE MX in the future. Hopefully not too distant future. :)

If you guys decided to offer and support a KDE release, that would bring me back into the fold and I'd be able to offer a lot of feedback and perhaps a little bit of help.

Uh oh. That may have just queered it.

Like richb said, one issue might be that it does not appear to be possible on buster base to have a newer plasma version than 5.14. Certain improvements in plasma or its related apps were introduced in later versions.

Time to switch distros...

Norbert Preining released the KDE 5.19.2 packages for Debian a few days ago: https://www.preining.info/blog/2020/06/ ... or-debian/

I'll upgrade my MX19.2, see if anything is broken. Could anyone tell me which MX qt apps will not work with the newer version of qt? I couldn't find any of the MX tools not working last time.

That will be interesting.

Could you test nomacs, ksnip, featherpad, virtualbox, clementine as well after you upgrade? I believe those are all Qt apps.

We have to consider other Qt-using programs in Stable repo, not just the MX apps themselves.
