General Debian • Re: [Discussion] Not a rant but a cry for help...

Adding 3rd party repos will lead to a broken install further down the road.

Could you please expand?
Other than the risk that the 3rd party repo never gets updated, what other part may be broken?

Use Xfce instead of KDE. It comes with no surprises. It is highly configurable and above all I couldn't notice any bugs yet, it just works. I have used it since Gnome replaced it's version 2 by version 3.

Thanks but I haven't completely given up on KDE...

Not all "KDE" versions are similarly buggy. I'm still using KDE v3 in the form of its fork TDE on all my Debian 20+ Bullseye and 20+ Trixie installations.

Thanks for that. I'll give it a go. Presumably this will ask me to add a repository. Are there good set-by-step you can recommend please?

Many thanks all.
