SimpleKDE is a lightweight and user-friendly version of the KDE desktop environment that prioritizes simplicity and cleanliness.
The project is currently managed by the Turkix Foundation, and all KDE developers and fans are welcome to join the development efforts. SimpleKDE is not meant to compete with KDE but is instead an unofficial, complementary sub-project that shares its codebase with the community, according to GNU/GPL.
One of the significant features of SimpleKDE is that it provides a less bloated, less feature-rich but more usable version of KDE. It also provides an easier Control Center, makes speed improvements by dropping unnecessary features, optimizes KDE for higher performance, and is more responsive to patches and improvements coming from the KDE community.
In the latest release of SimpleKDE, significant improvements have been made to the user interface, including elimination of unnecessary components and styles, code optimization, and a redesign of the simplified KControl, especially the LookNFeel part.
Overall, SimpleKDE is an excellent choice for users who want a lightweight, high-performance desktop environment that takes advantage of the powerful features of KDE while providing a more useable and streamlined experience.
