[ubuntu-studio-devel] availability of alternate DEs

[Charlie]

Erich and Jonathan: something else I wanted to add to my reply. I mentioned the latte dock and why I like it so well, it's the only panel style I use, albeit in Kubuntu, is that it has some features that gnome does with the active bar and dot above the icons for the active programs at the time. I hope that's easily understood. Instead of having open window bubbles on the panel, it just uses a bar and dot above the icons. Very nice and I love that. If that can be installed on Ubuntu Studio, I'd be ecstatic. Or if that option can be incorporated into XFCE altogether, that'd be great.

Unfortunately spinning a new iso for Plasma has proven to be time prohibitive, so a direction that is being considered is to add a meta package to a Kubuntu install to convert it into Ubuntu Studio (and have metapackages available to convert other flavors as well). Yes, that adds an extra step, but it’s the most logical solution considering our manpower and time allotment.
