   	I want something that looks just like KDE Plasma 5 or Plasma 6 but does   
   not require the use of systemd.  By the way Plasma can look just like   
   any Windows system or any other GNU/Linux Desktop environment but I prefer   
   it to look like AmigaOS 3.1 but that is just because I learned more about   
   computing and developed my workflow there.
