I would assume a CD would be slow by virtue of the technology involved.

It is running in a VM, so from the CD ISO directly.

Forum image rules are mages shall be a maximum of 640 x 620. Larger images disrupt the flow of the topic.I see you are using Imgur. Pick the "Large" image link which meets Forum Requirements.

I could not find this link, so I just posted the link instead of embedding it.

Thank you.

In Imgur, click on your username then images. Click your image and the following appears: Sorry, the image got clipped on the right when I resized. to get the file size less than 300 KB which is the Forum limit. The large is at the bottom right. Click that first then the Linked BB Code.

Interesting, there shouldn't be that much of a impact, but I only assume there might be some.
Is this with an SSD or good 'ol spinning rust HHD? I could see if with HDD depending on the location I suppose, if the drive is slower and or showing some age... but we all know that doesn't affect a SSD.

I haven't ran a live ISO in a VM in awhile outside of installing shortly after.

I wonder if anyone can take a look and test it soon. I'm a bit tied up right now, but can later this evening I think.

I run it in a vm all the time. there are a couple of factors. ram that the VM has is more important for the KDE version in my experience, especially at startup. another factor is the graphics driver in use. the kde desktop makes much more use of graphics effects when windows move or pop open, etc... So it can be slower.

Its not particularly slower for me, except for boot up. On real hardware no problems at all.

I run it in a vm all the time.

You’ve run strictly off the live ISO booted or installed? Think the user was stating specifically they weren’t installing.

live. great for testing

I'd still like to see the option to disable the 30-second logout/reboot/shutdown/switch users delay ("Confirm logout") added to MX Tweak so people don't have to hunt all over in their plasma settings to find it. I foresee a lot of questions about that delay in the forum after MX-KDE goes live.

There should probably also be a FAQ entry about the delay: the 30-second value seems to be hard-coded in Plasma so it's either 30 seconds or none. At least I haven't been able so far to find a config file where that value can be changed. But then, I don't even know what MX-KDE is using for its session manager. It's not LightDM.

Edit: found it, it's SDDM. I still can't find any config options for it that contain that 30-second timeout value that could be edited by users.
