I still haven't found the answer yet
This seems to be a rabbit hole
I ended up here at KDE frameworks

Currently reading KDE GTK config to get myself up to speed.
KDE is **not** using GTK as its default UI Engine. I had clearly forgotten that after not having played with KDE for so many years

Xfce is a suggestion.
This desktop manager is for me a nice balance between full keyboard control and great digitizer control. In my test KDE environment I have pulled in a number of critical Xfce components.
I will need to learn the new way in which KDE does these things so I can bring them back to my Xfce fvwm workflow
KDE gives me the possibility because I could do that decades to go
Kinda frustrated with the state of #desktops in #Linux / #BSD / #Unix
You can either have a fully functional, but kind of frustrating-to-use (too mouse-centric) desktop with Gnome or KDE Plasma, or you can have a lean, efficient, and fast wm/compositor like #i3, #sway #awesomewm #evilwm, #cwm, #bspwm, or whatever you like, BUT you will constantly be scratching your head when #Gnome and #GTK programs either start very slowly or refuse to run at all, and are constantly trying to figure out what combination of configuration, daemon, and small animal sacrifices are necessary to do what the big, bloated desktops do automatically.
It's freaking exhausting, and I want to go back to the days that every one just ran #IceWM, #Enlightenment, or #WindowMaker.
P.S., Just for clarity, I really do love #KDE #Plasma. I think it's a wonderful, easy-to-use, and extremely flexible desktop. But sometimes I really don't want a desktop, I just want a lean-and-basic UI that stays out of my way (for home stuff vs. work stuff, generally).
Do not fall for the trap of the ClosedSource operating system underlords. Your computing hardware is perfectly capable of Running a proper operating system maintained currently and run on full open source components
Just go to the following Place read learn and adapt
Stop using closed Source operating systems and software; dechain yourself become unslaved
When you program in C++ use GCC when you write text use markdown. Go full platform independent and full OpenSource and remain dechained

Microsoft hätte am liebsten, dass alte Computer mit Ende Oktober 2025 (dem Ende von Windows 10) weg geworfen werden, nur, weil sie nicht "Windows 11 kompatibel sind".
Das ist natürlich komplett unnötig, denn Linux läuft normalerweise super auf diesen Geräten.
Gerade deshalb ist diese Aktion von KDE so cool, weil sie zeigt, warum ein Upgrade auf Linux sinnvoll wäre:
The KDE team has created a wonderful Network for your Androids it's called Konnect and the things that it can do are so various that I'll just show you one of them in the included photographs
The ease with which I can control a music 🎵 player that works on one Android from all my devices which run Konnect opens up possibilities which are just marvelous for a sound engineer like me

I don't have a dock either. I do have a favourites row though, and currently these are the pinned apps (arranged in no particular order):

I still need some more feel at home config help. As you can see here I love having vertical gradients on my displays, but in KDE and Vallpaper I have not found how I can set gradients on the side of my wallpaper which are deliberately not 16:9 since I love to look at (vertical) gradients. Where do I need to look to achieve that? Is there a KDE action that I need to define for all my 20 KDE desktops?

Im starting to achieve platform distro OS translucency regarding more and more projects. Now I can smoothly work in my hugo projects from any distro I want in Linux. All I need to do is keep the copies I work on in sync.
Since I dont run zfs jet on a centralized HDD / SSD I simply use mc -a to do the job manually.
Normally it should be trivial, but the hugo projects want rm -Rf dir otherwise old files with similar size can be changed, thus screwing up continuity
Since my KDE MX install is moothing out in cfg features I need, which is a combo of XFce components and KDE, I can smoothly switch to the KDE distro and work further while I tune it.
I chose to keep XFce seperate from KDE distro wise due to size constraints I;ve put on my boot partition

Sometimes micro migration failures bring blessings, I learned how to use
`xfce4-screenshooter -S -d 2 --window -s "$HOME/Pictures/$(date +%Y-%m-%d_%H-%M-%S)_Screenshot2.png"`
from the commandline because it started to fail to add the date to the screencaps after the migration on my main MX linux install which is XFce4 based
This sequence also opens a thunar window sorted to date with the screencap. Of course the sorting is previously configured in thunar

The next step was to config KDE connect in this KDE. Luckily I know that I need gufw to migrate my profile, from the xFce MX linux to this KDE MX linux.
It was a matter of installing gufw, which is not default in KDE distro, since it has its own nice interface. For me sticking with what I know is the easiest since I want to drive KDE on desktop again after so many decades, even though XFce is still going to be used most, due to shortcut muscle memory

My next step was something unexpected.
In XFce4 my desktops all have different backgrounds per IPS Led Panel. Its a matter if context menu key (on my keyboard I have one) select background and move the program to the next display beside it and repeat, then move it to the next desktop, display besides AD Infinitum
KDE says HELL NO to that ease.
I did some reasearch and saw that it was easy peasy in KDE 4.5.x then got replaced with activities in KDE Plasma 5.x
The simple command is now either kwin scripts or a lot of keystrokes and time.
Instead of getting pissed I went further and found that what the programmers replaced with activities (which are POWERFULL and versatile) and also usuable for wallpapers per VTop (Virtual desktop) was eased back (in 2022) with VallPaper

You can use these tips to do it with activities, because those are good to learn too in KDE
I have 16 desktops on multiple IPS LED panels so for me that's not an option

How To Get KDE 5 Plasma to Have Separate Wallpapers and Separate Widgets
