   My everyday driver is LM Cinn. I regularly boot a LOT of different   
   distro/s live, and I'm a big fan of KDE, but I also like just using a   
   WM, and I like XFCE as well. I generally don't like Gnome as a DE, but I   
   appreciate the dev that comes out of that 'umbrella'.   
      
   I recently read an article in DW about adding the KDE desktop to LM, and   
   I hadn't tried to mix desktop toolkits in years because the last time I   
   did that, the menu was a big mess. This time it worked out fine just   
   adding the KDE desktop instead of 'full'.   
      
   I like for the dev of a KDE distro to try to keep the KDE 'light' in   
   terms of resource usage live to the desktop; Neon does that pretty well;   
   most do not.   
      
   In terms of resources used to the live desktop, I recently observed that   
   Q4OS TDE uses 10% LESS resources than Sparky's OB WM over Deb. I'm very   
   impressed w/ how Timothy Pearson and crew have managed to maintain their   
   forks of the Qt toolkit as well as the '3.5' KDE alive and well.
