Mageia forum

I see that Mageia 3 includes Razor-QT which I shall certainly try out as an alternative to GNOME just in case GNOME Classic vanishes from the distribution. Just a quick question; does anybody know if GNOME or KDE applications will run in this environment? Probable answer - yes - but I would like to know for sure.

It is included since Mageia 2. And yes, both GTK and QT applications will run, why shouldn't they? But maybe a hint:
It's long not as polished and complete as KDE/GNOME or LXDE/XFCE are, and it definitely requires some work from the user.
I can tell you first hand as i've used it during the last few months, at home and at work.

BTW: Moved it to the apporiate subforum.
EDIT: Nope, can't do, permissions missing. Will be done by a moderator.

Thanks for the confirmation. So where should this general question have been posted? It is not at all obvious.

Below basic support, that's what it is. The other subforum is meant more for general discussion about Mageia, not for support-type issues or question.
If you have something like that, post it here. Cheers

OP: One thing about razor-QT worth noting is that it behaves very different depending on which window manager you use. If you choose KDM, it is a more intuitive, and runs smoother out of the box. If you choose to run rQT w/openbox WM, there will be more of a learning curve but it will run lighter.
