Marak most people cannot afford a high end machine today. Me included. The
great depression killed my IT career. 20+ years but I had no degree and was
competing against people with the same 20+ years of IT experience who had
degrees for jobs that wouldn't even pay my child support. Outsourcing and
ears now. I'd hate to see it die.

Akondi is a monster that drove me away from KDE. If you do not have the
latest greatest machine and multitask, Akondi will bring your machine to
it's knees, then flog it, then draw and quarter your memory resources,
grind your hard drive into dust, then chew up the remains. I had to switch

Two corrections. I use Krusader, not even sure Konquerer still supported.
The other is Fugu was the sFTP client I used to use, but is totally
unreliable today on Macs.

For SSH I've found it's easier to SSH to the Mac than from it. There are
some SSH clients and you can use the CLI to SSH out but the clients are
pretty iffy at best. Filezilla the free version works if you want to dump
everything in /public as that seems to be the only dir it'll allow you to

So for example to run krusader you would type
krusader &
Auto complete will work with most GUI apps. So kru then the tab key will
probably find krusader.

Yes I am using older machines. Mostly machines given too me as keeping the

I never got Discover working on KDE Kubuntu 16.04 KDE 5.5.5 I use
Synaptics instead. Luckily I got enough functionality out of the software
center to install Synaptics using the search bar or I'd not been able to
install anything. This was a minor issue as Synaptics is great for software
sumption with
Linux anymore.

The thread is about shutting down Akondi and why people want to do so. And
it appears that a lot of people have to shut down Akondi because of
performance reasons. Not just from this thread. A quick google search turns
up hundreds of people asking the same question on Linux and technical
forums.

2 or 3 months I might kill it and restart it to recover memory lost to
memory leaks if a kernel update hasn't forced me to reboot in a few
months. All my machines run 24/7.

I had the same issue. Akondi was clobbering my system and making it utterly
unusable. It is a resource MONSTER. I wouldn't even consider running it
without at least 16 gigs of ram and the way I multitask I doubt that's
enough.

I'm using the default SDDM. I don't see Neon in the process list, SDDM
shows up, so I don't think that comes up by default, or runs under a

That's not a big issue for me since I only use Kmail to open mail archives
and cannot use it in KDE 5 anyway as it brings up Akondi and Akondi buries
my system. I'll download the strait Ubuntu rather than Kbuntu and see if
Trinity is supported on that and give it a try. I use Chrome primarily,

As to why I prefer KDE and have used KDE almost exclusively as a desktop
since 2001.
First I will preface this with a disclaimer as what I have to say is a bit
controversial. There are many good desktops. Initially I was dismayed when
I heard Knoppix was moving away from KDE. However using LDXE
I'm going to disagree with you there DE. KDE is the most user friendly of
desktops I've yet found. Odd behavior plagues all desktops, especially
windoze. That Unity insanity which Windows 8 apparently attempted to

Instead of a search engine what would be useful is an equivalents app with
lots of choices including non-KDE software in many cases. Most of the time
the best of breed for an app is a KDE app. Nothing approaches K3b in my
opinion though there are now imitations of K3b for Gnome and other
desktops.
I had to turn off Virtosoe completely. It was eating up my CPU usage
and running me out of memory. Merely killing the process off was not
sufficient to clean up the lost memory. I was suffering total freezes
and eventually system out of memory errors. All of which were solved
by turning off the
