I have looked at kate, as I said, but that does indeed pull in lots of extra files. I have just checked again, 98 packages. Not going there.On Tue, 18 Jun 2019 15:25:49 +0100 Neil Stone <neil@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: Hello Neil,You could just install KDE on MX Linux... then use kate.Installing KDE just to use Kate is overkill. Installing Kate will pull in the necessary dependencies. Admittedly, that may be quite a large list. A lot depends on what, if any, software that uses the Qt engine is already installed. Anyway.... Choice of DE is more or less moot these days. Software largely uses either GTK (Gnome's engine) or Qt (KDE engine) for the grunt work. Each plays nicely with the other, IME. Personally, I prefer KDE (actually the DE is called Plasma now) over Gnome but I still use GTK apps (e.g. Gramps and Claws Mail) because there's no equivalent in KDE (Gramps) or the KDE offering sucks (take your pick). Given the cost of hard disk space, and the amount of RAM available to use these days, it's not difficult having GTK & Qt apps running at the same time.
