Which version of KDE ? Plasma ? Something else ? Update Question

#1 Post by BaudouinVH »

Greetings, right now I'm running MX21 using the XFCE desktop but fell in love with Plasma through distrosea.com.

- is MX23 KDE the Plasma KDE ? Another version ?
- how does an update/desktop migration sound ? Should I expect problems switching form MX21 XFCE to MX23 KDE ?

thanks in advance
Baudouin

MX 23 KDE version is Plasma 5.27 whereas MX21 is Plasma 5.20. I would recommend a fresh install of MX 23. Other than learning the new desktop and KDE applications problems should not be an issue assuming your hardware is compatible.

EDIT:
Some have had success with a migration from an existing 21 install. Others have had problems. Here is a guide:
