Introducing the all-new Debian 12 ESDE (Enhanced Security Desktop Edition) Plasma UI pre-alpha v0.2.1: a Debian desktop setup created for a fiction organization’s low-end office computers. It features simplified KDE apps, no blur, generally lightweight system settings (some features are disabled or tuned for higher performance and security) and a custom auto-hide floating panel (on the right) with a large clock and a system monitor overview. Security features are planned and are not added yet. For now the main issue is that it’s quite difficult to use scroll bars on full-screen windows because the panel opens every time the mouse cursor touches the right edge of the screen. Would love a solution for this. And it often crashes in certain scenarios so yea it’s just a pre-alpha now. Oh and the specs:
Distribution: Debian 12 DE/WM: KDE Plasma 5.27 Theme: Breeze Dark Icons: Papirus (it would be more realistic to use the stock icons but I just hate how folders look there so custom icon pack it is) Apps: Konsole, Dolphin (Qt apps) and Firefox (GTK 3 app)
The Debian logo on the top left just opens a slightly tuned KDE’s Application Menu so I didn’t show that. Everything else isn’t really ready yet. Well, could you expect more from a bad rice?
P.S. The actual purposes of this post are to show the flexibility of KDE and deleted
Once I heard there’s something racist about the word “rice” but I really don’t know what it is and people seem to understand what the word means here so yea. But if it’s really bad, I can change that. I didn’t mean anything racist
There’s a pinned post at the top of this very comm talking about exactly this issue: https://hexbear.net/post/403920?scrollToComments=false
Long story short, yes, it’s a racist term with a racist history and should not be used. Please change it
Only for you
