MX Linux Forum

I have tried Antix (installed) and as live session (Ventoy).
I love it. Impressive performance.

I wish there is an ISO with KDE Plasma, KDE only.
In the live session I tried to install KDE Plasma but it failed, saying something about signature!

Any KDE ISO anywhere? Is it planned sometime? Hopefully.

I also would love to have AntiX with KDE.

Sorry to disappoint, but there will be no official antiX with KDE or any other desktop environment.
We only do window managers.

I tried installing kde full and 2nd attempt kde standard on the antiX full install last night, using MXPI.

Both installed ok (on their separate attempts, of course), but when I select the plasma option and log in, they both won't start, leave me with a black screen, and had to reset the VM.

@Eadwine Rose if you still want to play, do what you did and install KDE-full from the Package Installer.
Then install lxdm or lightdm and choose it as the login manager when prompted.
Reboot.

It should boot to a KDE desktop but it will be very vanilla.

I tested with antiX-full runit version and htop shows (in Virtualbox) 505MB idle. No idea if that is good or just standard.

That's really good. I get 780MB with MX-23.3 KDE in VB.

*more comparison
siduction 23.1 KDE (5.27.11) 930MB
KDE neon (6.1.80) 963MB

Thanks @anticapitalista! With your help I got it working indeed. Opted lightdm, rebooted and alrighty, it is showing me KDE, neat.

Magnus is auto starting on the desktop, but yeah I have KDE here now. *chuckles*

antiX x64 full, installed, and kde full running, right after logging in htop shows 517M idle on the memory in a VM. It IS slowly increasing as I write the post though. Not a clue where it will end. I can leave it on and running for a while like this, doing nothing else, if you're interested in that data.


edit: oh ok.. went down to 508 when I just looked again, and now it is at 536.

I wager it will be around that value somewhere when idle.

I noticed that as well @Eadwine Rose Any data is useful.
If anyone wants to install KDE on antiX, it is probably better to start with antiX-base or even antiX-core.
However, expect to do a LOT of customising afterwards.
