They used to be more reasonable... then with Gnome 3 they basically stuck their heads up their own.... and kept them there.RedGreen925 wrote: Tue Aug 05, 2025 10:44 am The devs are the normal Gnome morons who have been like that for the entire 26 years I have used GNU/Linux.

Currently, KDE defaults to X11 but users can switch to Wayland if they want to.
@LU344928 You do have another choice.LU344928 wrote: Tue Aug 05, 2025 3:11 pmGot it.siamhie wrote: Tue Aug 05, 2025 6:11 amYes. It's mentioned in the blog.

Considering it states, "At this time, the KDE iso will ship with systemd only" it looks like I'll be sticking with MX23 for some time.
Unless I decide to switch to Fluxbox... Xfce is out of the question.
I get nothing.

Also "free" should list the swap space. I don't think it's set up even though you have a partition set up for that you need to make sure you have the entry in /etc/fstab for the swap. Do you?uncle mark wrote: Tue Aug 05, 2025 3:54 pmI get nothing.

Must be a freak bug cause everything works fine with sysvMarkus85 wrote: Tue Aug 05, 2025 3:17 pm As far as systemd is concerned, I have so far only experienced with Lutris that it was not possible to install games using Wine if systemd was not available.
The problem is that KDE is progressively dropping support for sysv simply by ignoring it exists. Already in KDE5 you have to boot into systemd for the firewall settings to actually function (it works fine with sysv you just can't change anything) and the system monitor has missing tabs unless you run systemd. I don't even know yet what else broke in KDE6 on sysv but it can't be pretty.siamhie wrote: Tue Aug 05, 2025 3:24 pm @LU344928 You do have another choice.
You could try installing the sysVinit MX-25 XFCE ISO and add kde-full from the enabled tab in MX Package Installer.
You will still have access to all of the MX Tools. I've done this in the past.
Thanks for posting this @Markus85. That was my concern, regarding mullvad installer also. Running two separate installs, one the preferred sysV and the other a side install with systemd, if wine (or mullvad?) is needed, would be a bizarre setup. Dual-boot also may not be achievable technically (depending on user's abilities). People could end up with a main sysV install not able to be used fully.Markus85 wrote: Tue Aug 05, 2025 3:17 pm As far as systemd is concerned, I have so far only experienced with Lutris that it was not possible to install games using Wine if systemd was not available.
