Hey gents! Guten tag!
I was an aptosid user and forum member back in the day, hhh. I went on to help with BunsenLabs.
I've been using a minimal plasma-workspace session on top of a BunsenLabs Openbox default install upgraded to sid, and also one upgraded to testing with most of the BunsenLabs configs removed. Anyway, the result is remarkably light and I thought I'd share.
Plasma 5.13.2 session via lightdm...


Openbox session with xfce4-panel, power-manager and notifications, light-locker and compton, ...

I think the latest Plasma is fantastic. I'm looking forward to using it with siduction! Cheers.

Thanks for sharing

I switched sources from sid to buster before the weekend, ahead of the transition freeze. A couple of glitches (graphics and a desktop crash) but weekend upgrades and a reboot seems to have sorted things...



To the siduction forum, and especially @devil for his support posts (and @towo for his work), thank you for your help! See y'all in a couple of years.

More scrots, this should not be a dead thread! Scrots get people interested in trying new things.

-edit- I forgot that the forum is primarily Deutsche and that the other scrot thread exists and is active. Carry on!

Not something I would consider but good that it worked for you. I'm considering installing Buster in ~6 months after it goes stable. I would keep a siduction install of course! I have a Stretch install with Plasma 5.12 from Neptune OS as a fallback now. Plasma has improved markedly since the Stretch default version but I could probably live with the Buster version.

-edit- I forgot that the forum is primarily Deutsche and that the other scrot thread exists and is active. Carry on!

We non-German natives who use siduction are still alive and well! 
I like your desktop photo, and have also move my panel to vertical. Makes more sense on a wide screen.

Hello, you two!

yours screenshots look wonderful. I love that when the users show their desktops.   

@3h
Thank you very much for your praise. This distibution is really the best if you want to have a real rolling release and you always consider the hints of those responsible.
I have therefore never experienced a bankruptcy.

Unfortunately, for years there have been no people like @damo, @bronto etc. from your forum who can easily create graphical elements in your distribution, which is an absolute pep.

Thanks for the posts and responses!

@sunrat, beautiful scrot. Plasma has blown GNOME out of the water, just on RAM usage alone, and then there's the customization factor and not having to deal with https://extensions.gnome.org/
I flipping love KDE Connect!

@unklarer, damo has returned to our forums after a long health issue! BrontosaurusRex is still active daily there, too.

BL serves it's purpose, a debian stable LIVE disc with a fairly minimal Openbox/xfce4-power-manager based desktop that installs easily on most hardware due to the inclusion of non-free firmware and whatnot. We're getting better, and are excited that the freeze has come and we can do some real development-testing on our next release, Lithium, based on buster.


That scrot, my primary partition, is BunsenLabs Helium (jessie) upgraded to debian sid, then downgraded (sort of?) to buster. I run Plasma but have BunsenLabs Openbox and Xfce sessions as well. Those available sessions have saved my behind a couple of times during the recent sid KDE upgrades.  Debian 4EVAH, One apt To Rule Them All.
