@Moltke it's good to get some 'wife and mother' feedback. Thank you
Trust that whatever is decided upon in 2 years, it is purely for our target audience.
With so many developers onboard and it getting lighter by the day, with high configuration, it would be criminal to ignore it.
Xfce 4.16 is switching to GTK header bars, but they’re more commonly referred to as client side decoration (CSD) as window borders are rendered client side (GTK), not by the window manager.
I would definitely throw out a dev edition on any drastic change to LL, including a change in DE. To release suddenly a LL KDE without any prior warning or consultation, well, it's simply unthinkable for me. To reiterate, this thread is asking for opinions on such a switch. A thread title does not imply an impending move to KDE. It simply asks the question...what if?
I ... will welcome it if you decide so ...
There would likely be a developmental version of Linux Lite KDE so that we in the forum can test it out and report issues. A desktop environment change for a production version of Linux Lite isn't even in the cards before June 2022. That is over two years from now. And that is the earliest this would happen, if it happens at all.
I'd like to reiterate what Jerry stated earlier. It seems like some of us are making anecdotal history affect how we feel about this issue. Antergos doesn't exist anymore. Github is now owned by Microsoft. Those are two recent examples of how the past does not equal the future. My guess is the majority of all users do most of their computing via a browser and they occasionally access a file manager. Switching desktop environments isn't going to rock the world of grandma or grandpa as long as the browser icon is still in the bottom left, next to the file manager icon and the Menu button. That can be accomplished in KDE. So relax.There would likely be a developmental version of Linux Lite KDE so that we in the forum can test it out and report issues.
