How I assembled my own Plasma desktop
Quoting: How I assembled my own Plasma desktop —
I have to say, I'm quite pleased with the outcome of my project. Now, I wouldn't presume to call this a distro, nor would I want to actually make it as one, or release it unto the public. What I did is just a little bit of assembly work, although my results aren't any worse than what you may find out there. The true art is, of course, in the drivers, the hardware-software integration, and philosophical thinking, but that's often missing in the Linux world, too. Then again, my goal wasn't to prove a point, it was to show you a clever way you can create a useful system, even if the defaults aren't readily available.
Should you happen to have an ARM box at your disposal (including a Mac), and you do wish to play with Linux, and you like the Ubuntu crop, you can do a lot of nice things with the Server image. The same way I added Plasma, you can try with Gnome or Xfce. With a little bit of care, you could have a pretty solid system. That would be all for now, folks.
