Is there any interest in an official MX-KDE edition?

if I want to make a snapshot - spin that is KDE only, how would I go about that?

do I have to delete all things XFCE related and go from there?

this is only important in terms of creating a spin, since I am real happy to have all 3 environments on my own laptop but i have friends that i think would prefer KDE Plasma and desktop options would confuse the beejayzus out of them

A spin is just a version of MX with what you want on it.

For any alternate desktop respin (KDE, Mate, what have you), it would be best to remove as much of Xfce as you can without destroying the install.

Mind you many MX tools are won't work with KDE.

We're gonna have 90 different KDE respins by the end of the week at this rate

lol ... probly

don't worry ... my spins would not be fit for human consumption ... 'friends of mine don't count'

was just wondering if i could create an iso with just the one desktop environment but i guess that involves getting rid of xfce altogether rather than an option in the snapshot creator.

i don't really mind which DE i use ... i personally prefer using KDE plasma but am ok with XFCE (it really does not use more resources any longer).. i am also spending a lot more time in fluxbox recently ... i find it really cool

in any case, installing KDE Plasma and setting it up the way you like does not take very long at all ... in fact, the bear bones install comes out of the box in better shape than KDE Neon so i don't think we really need an official version ...

I'm not knocking it at all

If you hunt for some of manyroads respin threads it will give you ideas on where to start.

Maintaining a respin can be a lot of work, doing one off respins is easier, but if you plan on making it a repeatable process to maintain a respin baseline let alone update it as MX updates and what not... it could be a lot.

MX isn't created so people can do respins, so I don't see this option coming to fruition.

If there was going to be a Community KDE Respin, I (personally) would hope users would come together to do it, test it, and support it and users that use it. We already have people drop threads here about their respin then they vanish until their next "release". Leaving the rest of us to support their respin, which isn't right or fair.

I am working a respin, but since I now am doing packaging... users come first.
