   Kalarm for Ub distro/s is in the Ub universe repo.  If that repo isn't   
   enabled, you won't see it.   
      
   I try a lot of live distro/s and I like various KDEs, but I've never   
   tried Feren.  I'm reading an interesting bit in the DW entry for it:

   LM last KDE release was in '17.   
      
   Now I'm kinda curious what Feren has done w/ their KDE.
