Hi, everybody . . . good to be back.
I've been playing with a Raspberry Pi 5 as part of my better smart
television project. (
https://ofb.biz/safari/article/1204.html if you're
interested.)
It did not take me long to rediscover just how awful modern KDE is.
Example: Try adding something to kicker on the PiOS desktop (after, of
course, putting Wayland out of my misery). It is a multi-stage process
with no guarantee of success and considerably possibility of breaking
kicker and other things, which I've done repeatedly.
I was delighted to see today that there is TDE for Raspberry. Before I jump
in, though, I thought it would be good to jump in and ask if there are any
little landmines in it -- the default PiOS is nothing except landmines --
that I need to work around. Also, whether installation will bring along
the applications I've already configured -- Firefox ESR, the WebApp
Manager from Mint (and a bunch of webapps made thereby), and so on, as
well as the GUI configuration stuff and menu items. Not a big deal if it
doesn't, but I'd want to set aside time to come up with alternatives.
What need I know?
Hope everyone is well and happy.
