    Yeah, for example you can just install the WM component. However this is ricing and means that you are no longer running the Plasma desktop. Instead you are making your own non-standard setup using individual components. A corporate install for example would not do this.

    It's a bit dated and not scientific, but this comparison shows that Qt is definitely not 'lightweight' compared to things like FLTK: https://www.pismotek.com/brainout/co...-resources.php

    What's the point of this? It looks and feels like absolute trash and there are much better lightweight alternatives around. Easily the worst UI I have ever used

    Just look at all these dependencies it drags in.

    It's light when using it.
    Low on ram and resources actually plasma uses almost the same resources as xfce.
    It's an DE of course it will have a lot dependencies and most you see there are other plasma or qt5 components that's because it's modular.

    A lite qt desktop environment is good but plasma desktop is pretty light in it self but it's bigger.
    There is also Lxqt, if you want a very light QT DE.
