   Yep, CAN be done small and neat !

   The 99.99% are used to desktop-type units
   with tons of CPU/mem/storage. This is their
   point of reference. However if they get
   into things like PIs they come to a very
   different perspective.

   While humans are still relevant, proper
   computer/IT training should start out with
   things like Ards and Picos - learn that there
   is actual hardware involved, how to make do
   with small mem, low CPU, little or no Net.
   That will instill a proper state of mind
   that WILL be of great benefit down the road.

   AI ... that's where it drifts into "magic",
   speak your spells and let the 'gods' make
   it (sort of) real.

May background was mostly in embedded. When I interviewed for my last job 
in one of the questions from the director of engineering the preamble was 
'assume unlimited memory'. 'What world is this?' I thought. 

Several years later he said "When I interviewed you I kept getting the 
impression you were thinking 'Why is he asking this stupid shit?'"

I am increasingly finding "doesn't work in ELinks" to be a useful
metric for judging sites that I really don't care to visit that much.
There are exceptions, but it's amazing how much of the Internet I don't
actually need in my life that badly.

   I tried the KDE browser "Konqueror". It does seem
   lighter than FFox or Chromium. It does not work,
   at least super well, on some sites however ... but
   will work with far more than lynx/elinks.

   I've tried a bunch of browsers over the years, most
   stink in one way or another. FFox/Chromium/M$ are
   the premier products and developers cater to them.
   Sorry, that's just the way it's going to be.

The KDE installs for Fedora and Endeavour don't include Konqueror. Dolphin 
lives on.  It was on my former OpenSUSE box but it was sporadic enough I 
seldom used it.

My default for some time has been Brave though I'm currently interviewing 
WaterFox on one box. It has a few warts but the developers specifically 
rejected Firefox's AI enshitification.

Brave has a little star if you want Leo to take a shit but it's easy to 
turn off. It's becoming increasingly difficult to turn off AI in VS Code 
so I'm looking at Code-OSS.

If you don't need 90 % of today's web, that sounds like a sensible
decision.

	KDE's Plasma 5 was more compact. KDE's Plasma 6 is much larger.
	
	I don't use it for rounded corners, 3D effects or greater color gradations.
	The only reason that I use it is because KDE's Plasma 5 is no longer 
updated.
	I am unhappy that KDE's task-games has not been updated.

	But I like to use the KDE product and have enough power to do so
	without noticable slow down. 20 years of KDE desktop environment for
me which amounts to 20 years of Linux for me and maybe 6 months of XP,
and 10 years approximately of AmigaOS 1.2-3.9.

This is aided by the fact that KDE is built on Qt, which is optimized
to run on a wide range of platforms, including limited-resource
embedded ones.

   That'd take too long.

   Install both, try both. Then you'll know.

   In a little nut shell, LXDE has even less
   'eye candy' and attempts at 'app integration'
   than even XFCE - while remaining nice and
   usable. Nearest Win equiv would be XP -
   with a hint of Win2k).

   Still like LXDE best, though you get more
   and earlier support for XFCE these days.

Several letters?  Even better, the original LXDE crew didn't like Gtk 3 so 
went off to develop LXQt. I had a Lubuntu install that used LXQt. LXDE was 
resurrected from the dead and strangely enough a heavily modified version 
is used in Raspberry Pi OS so the terminal is LXTerminal. 

Xfce has the panel on top (usually) and LXDE doesn't (usually).

   Um, easy enough to move that ...

   LXQt ... do NOT like it.

   LXDE ... STILL love it.

   Anyway, that's MY take, MY aesthetic.

   Plenty of choices - take your pick. Can't really
   say one is "better" than another, it Just Depends.

Mate has panels wherever I put them. Currently I have one - the task bar 
I suppose - along the top and the apps down the RH side, both  on autohide .

I have 8 virtual screens in the task bar as well.

AFAICR virtual screens are not a usual feature, but MATE has them

I had it on my work Debian box and tried it on LM. I was surprised that LM 
looked quite a bit different to Debian. I don't know which is the plain
