Is there a Desktop Environment which is recommended or better preferred for Mageia? - I mean in terms of stability and simplicity of Mageia. - I thought I read a hint that Xfce is recommended for Mageia 7. Is this also the case for Mageia 8?
My question is related to a newly installed Mageia 8 system. After a few restarts, some of the icons in Libre Office are no longer displayed correctly, which is quite irritating. - The new installation of Mageia 8 went perfectly with the classic installation. When selecting the user interface, I saw the choice between Plasma and Gnome (Xfce is not offered with the classic installation or did I miss it?). The user interface (KDE Plasma with Mageia settings) and the programmes (Firefox, Libre Office) ran flawlessly after the installation at first glance. I was able to scale the high-resolution Dell P2415Q display appropriately. I wanted to install the printer driver for an Epson ET-4750. Somehow I got lost and clicked the wrong way and installed the control centre and driver for HP printers in the KDE Plasma settings. Only later did I see the note to set up the printer from the Mageia welcome window. I rebooted a few times and since then the icons in Libre Office have been misaligned. - I will reinstall Mageia 8 again. I am concerned about the choice of desktop and the behaviour of Libre Office.
Question details: Mageia 8; Linux kernel 5.15.11-desktop-3,mga8; system 64-bit; KDE Plasma.
Thanks in advance for the information on desktop selection.
