You have to know the history of KDE to understand that phrasing. Google is your friend
Quote from: tikiti on January 25, 2020, 06:23:20 AMIsn't KDE & Plasma one? It's KDE Plasma right? Or are they 2 seperate DE? I'm confused! https://kde.org/plasma-desktopKDE is a community of people who make software including the plasma desktop https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KDE_Plasma_5 (do check the external links, there a few very interesting ones ) which many people refer to as KDE and that's because in the early days it was simply called the KDE desktop where KDE used to stand for Kool Desktop Evironment https://kde.org/announcements/beta1announce.php but that's not the case anymore and the "official" name is plasma desktop, developed by the KDE community. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/K_Desktop_Environment_1

Quote from: Artim on December 21, 2019, 07:44:05 AMHow has that happened? KDE on par with Xfce?! Not long ago I would have thought it impossible.The main difference is that KDE has a massive, almost inexhaustible supply of developers, where as XFCE have just a handful. I really like KDE and how close it is to Windows and the level of configuration available. Plasma is really nice too. Sent from my Mobile phone using Tapatalk

What system is your KDE on?
I created root access in my KDE LL build. Took a few hours of research to get a reliable, working fix.

"Dolphin is a great file manager, I don't think or can't say its better than thunar since it doesn't support root mode which is disabled by default and I use that quite a lot, then again, I can do the same things from the terminal only that it feels more confortable using a GUI."Try this from a root terminal: # QT_QPA_PLATFORM=x11 dolphin Should open dolphin as root under x11. If it errors run a nested Xserver set a display number i/e 8 and open it there with the same command, but prefixed with: DISPLAY=8The days of running graphical applications from root are ending. Too many bugs and too much security risk. QT5 (newest KDE) runs on Xwayland or wayland thus the lack of root graphical application access. The security risk of the xinput utility (which has not been in Debian default installs since Deb 7, but is still in default Ubuntu and all XFCE) is reason enough to not use Xorg not to mention many patches in C code thrown about in the server source that are not coded precisely enough to be considered stable or secure. Of course xinput tools are not transparent under wayland and neither is the weak Xserver code.TC
