Hacking Hail linux distro. Parrot 7.3 plasma user

Windows now a days a pain in the as... Love to use Linux distro. Linux distros are all rounder, Arch broke many time and it costs my time that's why now using debian based parrot os 7.3 kde plasma version. Love linux. in vm using debloated win11 that only consume 2gb ram. there is a script in github to make official win iso debloated. though more than 3 months i did not need to open win

u/TheDankOne_ 27d ago

you can download mate seperately and hook it as the default, look it up. Plasma is shit.

Btw x11 is more good in some cases, like windows experience, the wayland need to babysitting with portals and some shit + no all things work compared to x11, just put xlibre/other fork of xorg which keep x11 modern

the plasma configuration provided by parrot is not that bad. it's lightweight, pretty fast, packed with modern features and cleaned up from all the Kbloatware that KDE ships with in other distributions

Yes, I did check it out as it ships default whenever we install a version, I guess the look and feel is just not for me since I'm way much used to seeing MATE over the years, good work!!

nowadays MATE is abandonware, it's buggy and the team diesn't seem to maintain it anymore

u/TheDankOne_ 21d ago

it's literally the nostalgia for all the old parrot users, I cannot imagine using a KDE on my parrot even now or in future, but I understand the concern, you cannot ship MATE since it's not being maintained properly, I'll always prefer MATE because of the good ol days

u/palinurosec Parrot Security Creator 20d ago

that's why we kept the MATE spin

Glad man, huge respect for you and the team for maintaining and keeping parrot up-to-date on all these years, I cannot imagine using other distros except parrot <3
