Introducing the all-new Debian 12 ESDE (Enhanced Security Desktop Edition) Plasma UI pre-alpha v0.2.1: a Debian desktop setup created for a fiction organization's low-end office computers. It features simplified KDE apps, no blur, generally lightweight system settings (some features are disabled or tuned for higher performance and security) and a custom auto-hide floating panel (on the right) with a large clock and a system monitor overview. Security features are planned and are not added yet. For now the main issue is that it's quite difficult to use scroll bars on full-screen windows because the panel opens every time the mouse cursor touches the right edge of the screen. Would love a solution for this. And it often crashes in certain scenarios so yea it's just a pre-alpha now. Oh and the specs:

Distribution: Debian 12 DE/WM: KDE Plasma 5.27 Theme: Breeze Dark Icons: Papirus (it would be more realistic to use the stock icons but I just hate how folders look there so custom icon pack it is) Apps: Konsole, Dolphin (Qt apps) and Firefox (GTK 3 app)

The Debian logo on the top left just opens a slightly tuned KDE's Application Menu so I didn't show that. Everything else isn't really ready yet. Well, could you expect more from a bad setup?

P.S. The actual purposes of this post are to show the flexibility of KDE and deleted

I mean, I see no issue here other than the conky being in the foreground.

There is no conky. It's a Plasma panel with the width of 280 which appears only if you touch the right edge with the mouse cursor. It's meant to be in the foreground so you can summon it on any screen. And it allowes making the clock bigger too

Ah, I see. In that case, the setup looks great!

That's only until you try to scroll a full-screen app. Not a good experience at all

As long as you can download flatpak I see no reason why this wouldn't become the best option for normal people besides immutable rolling distros.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 months ago

Drivers for newer hardware and some other system features are a big deal in these distros. For example, Debian 12 has Plasma 5 and not the best Wayland support because of it. Performance and security also suffer from old packages
