A word of advice though, if I may, to anyone else who tries slimming plasma |
| 21 |
down: you do need kdedesktop, not just kdeworkspace. When I tried just the |
| 22 |
former of those two, I got an "all shell packages missing" error (or something |
| 23 |
like that) at plasma startup via sddm, together with a black screen. Windows |
| 24 |
opened and closed all right, but the system clearly wasn't happy. |
