@inaction_figure @pdq A couple of years ago iirc i created a #Kinoite VM in my #ArchLinux host, just to muck about with & keep an eye out. In it i created an #Arch #Distrobox, in which i installed #yay, with which i installed some #AUR pkgs. All that works fine, but there are papercuts i dislike & have not been able to overcome. One such is that so far i do not know how to have any such DB apps autostart with Kinoite itself.

Similarly, in Kinoite i've installed various #flatpak apps, one being #Yakuake. I've never managed to get it to obey my setting to show its icon in the System Tray, like is easily done in non-immutable Plasma distros.

Papercuts like these dissuade me from being able to think of #Kinoite, #Kalpa, #kdeLinux et al as serious future replacement Host distros on my hardware. However, i approach these matters as an unskilled hobbyist, not someone with deep Linux knowledge, so would appreciate relevant advice from those who actually know such stuff.

@darth Hello, i enjoyed your video.

Can you please tell me exactly which raw ISO version you downloaded then installed?

I ask because over recent months i have had a rotten time trying to get #kdeLinux #kdeOS working in one of my #QEMU #KVM VMs. Eg:

• kdeos_202409101455.raw repeatedly threw errors & aborted during installation
• kdeos_202409201149.raw ostensibly installed ok but crashed to emergency shell at boot
• kdeos_202411050109.raw installed ok, runs ok, but cannot be updated as sudo updatectl update fails with msg that updatectl is not recognised.
• kde-linux_202412151033.raw ostensibly installed ok but crashes to emergency shell at boot
• kde-linux_202412151758.raw ostensibly installed ok but crashes to emergency shell at boot

So when i saw in your video that not only did your version install & run, but also can update, given today's latest failures [the last two dot points above] i thought the best option now might be for me to select the same image that you downloaded.

Thanks.
