This is based on the packages provided here by long time Slackware collaborator LuckyCyborg.

It's only compatible with PorteuX 1.5+ current

Seems to work (slightly heavier than the kde-5.27.11 on VirtualBox), but the concept of the Porteus/PorteuX being small and light is lost

Yeah, I know what you mean. KDE is the most bloated desktop environment. There are so many moving parts that it becomes really hard to strip it without breaking things.

Still, what other distro do you know that is able to ship the latest KDE Plasma 6.1.x while taking less than 600 MB and being this fast?

Anyway, the link has been updated. Some fixes and a bit better stripping.

Yes it is !

On last build Network Manager seems to be broken (at least on VirtualBox)
