Thanks for the quick look at Salient OS. I’ve heard good things about it before, and was thinking about blowing away my desktop to install Salient OS. Even this quick overview was enough for me to know that this isn’t the distro for me. Too heavy with packages that I don’t want. Hope you enjoy it, though.

I’m glad the overview helped – whether it’s to encourage people to try it, or to deter them!

DHS was kicking in again and I was wondering what distro I could try. I was leaning towards KDE neon but then you came with Salient. I’m half fitting the targeted user description but I never tried xfce until now so I’ll give a go

You could always satisfy your Plasma desire and load up the KDE Plasma version of Salient!

I guess it would make a perfect step 3 for this DHS phase
