Thanks to the SonicDE team we are now able to start preliminary testing of their X11 only fork of Plasma.
Please be advised of the following caveats:
- The
sonic-*packages make use of a mix of KDE and SonicDE dependencies at this time. The SonicDE dependencies have not had an asset rename, yet. As a result, you cannot have bothplasmaandsonicpackages installed at the same time. There are conflicts baked into the packages that will not allow it. - Testing does not mean “production ready” and you will need to provide feedback accordingly:
- Package install issues here: GitHub · Where software is built
- Software issues here: SonicDE · GitHub
- Local testing with xlibre in Cooker has been conducted and there have not been any significant issues to report at this time.
To install you should be able to do the following:
sudo dnf in task-sonicde- If you haveplasmainstalled already, you will need to add--allowerasingsudo dnf in task-sonicde-minimal- Same as above, only for a minimal experience
Those that were testing prior to this post will need to dsync with --allowerasing to bring in the replacement sonic dependencies. As always, if you are testing keep an eye on builds on ABF and announcements in the Cooker Matrix room before performing any dsync’s.
Enjoy.
