   With respect ... NEVER gonna use it - and I *hate* MAC.

   Oh, and I've SEEN all, ALL, the crap any KDE app wants
   to install. "Light" ... no, no, no .........

   LXDE is the fattest environ I ever install.

   If I can find something that doesn't even need
   x-windows/Wayland I'll go THAT way.

   That's MY take on Linux GUI interfaces. No apologies.
