How can I apply for one for my boxyBSD VM? do I have to contact you on Matrix?

I have KDE on a semi permanent installation on a 2.5" Drive. If you have been following my toots you know at which level I am with it again after a couple of decades

It's nothing in ease of use, compared to my XFce Desktop ENV: where I have all shortcuts I want in muscle memory, however KDE has become much more powerful in the couple of decades I've not looked at it.

As you know Tunnel Brokers does not work for me due to my current network setup without a static pingable IP

I am keenly interested

I've installed the statically linked version. Now I rock the latest version of ffmpeg

The next step was to config KDE connect in this KDE. Luckily I know that I need gufw to migrate my profile, from the xFce MX linux to this KDE MX linux.
It was a matter of installing gufw, which is not default in KDE distro, since it has its own nice interface. For me sticking with what I know is the easiest since I want to drive KDE on desktop again after so many decades, even though XFce is still going to be used most, due to shortcut muscle memory

You can use these tips to do it with activities, because those are good to learn too in KDE

I have 16 desktops on multiple IPS LED panels so for me that's not an option

My next step was something unexpected.

In XFce4 my desktops all have different backgrounds per IPS Led Panel. Its a matter if context menu key (on my keyboard I have one) select background and move the program to the next display beside it and repeat, then move it to the next desktop, display besides AD Infinitum

KDE says HELL NO to that ease.
I did some reasearch and saw that it was easy peasy in KDE 4.5.x then got replaced with activities in KDE Plasma 5.x
The simple command is now either kwin scripts or a lot of keystrokes and time.

Instead of getting pissed I went further and found that what the programmers replaced with activities (which are POWERFULL and versatile) and also usuable for wallpapers per VTop (Virtual desktop) was eased back (in 2022) with VallPaper

Thank you. I found all the actions needed in kwin and I've defined the keyboard shortcuts for them

What I still need to do is find out again where I can configure custom shortcuts to quickly switch between desktops using the keyboard

There's one thing I had not done in a long time which is install a distribution of my choice with a full KDE desktop manager. I haven't done that in more than 2 decades. KDE has been wonderful at it's infancy and KDE is still wonderful now.

Since MX Linux is my distribution of choice, it's logical that I installed the KDE version of that distribution even if it's just for a test drive.

I've allocated just 20 gigs for KDE which means it's tight with space but it's still usable for a test run.

One tool I immediately missed was gparted the powerful gnome UI, which puts the precision of partition manipulation at your fingertips, without the chances of making costly mistakes if you don't pay enough attention or are not affluent enough with the commands in your favorite shell.

I missed that tool during the installation of mxKDE because I needed to add partitiond before the installation could proceed I just left Blank Space on an SSD.

Apart from that I can tell you from the initial view that KDE has not just matured, advanced and elevated itself. KDE has become so lightweight in resource usage that it can complete with very Light Desktop managers.

You can still edit your widgets up to & icons almost the pixel. The things that I love about KDE from decades ago are still there and are even more powerful.

Since I started to use KDE when GPU usage on the desktop was not even a thing, you can imagine how fast the DE is now and a period where GPU usage is normal for everything.

Out of the box KDE is already fantastic. Go and see what KDE can be for you, by installing it yourself

This is a trip!
