Re: Distro Hopping

You cannot just install one package kwin-x11, but there'd be another 195 packages to installed, and those would take about 220 MB of disk space, so it is the largest of the lot.

Is that with or without --no-install-recommends?

Try installing in your Lubuntu and see, if there is a difference. Also, if you are able to install just kwin-x11, check whether you can get anything working with kwin.

KWin (pronounced as one syllable "kwin") is the window
manager for the KDE Plasma Desktop. It gives you complete
control over your windows, making sure they're not in the way
but aid you in your task. It paints the window decoration,
the bar on top of every window with (configurable) buttons
like close, maximize and minimize. It also handles placing
of windows and switching between them.

This package is part of the KDE base workspace module.

Re: Distro Hopping

I fully expected this thread to wander all over the place, the intention starting it was that others might continue with other queries or observations, related to <insert distro> never meant it to be a Gentoo thread specifically.  There was no "Distro hoppers anon." thread on the board at the time.

But thanks for the opinions offered early on, what I actually decided, was not to decide, and trying it both ways in different installs.

Re: Distro Hopping

^ Talking about kwin; I have actually done an Jessie Xfce iso with full kwin eye-candy, when Jessie was called Testing. It is sitting somewhere in my data external hard disk and maybe I'd pull it out, install it and try to update it. If everything goes well, I'd create a live iso out of it and release it for you guys. There are lot of ifs at the moment.
