Select the shell in various window managers and log in.

There is a short setup on first boot.

First, select a language, but unfortunately Japanese is not yet implemented, so select a foreign language that you are good at.

Then follow the instructions on the screen.

3. Try it out

Good :thumbsup:

――The operation is light

Since there are few useless functions, it can be used comfortably even on old machines. --Beautiful UI
It uses the same Qt toolkit as Plasma5.
Many animations are used and it moves smoothly.

--Easy-to-use taskbar

You can play / stop music and switch windows smoothly.

Bad :thumbsdown:

--Japanese not supported

GUI applications that support Japanese are also written in foreign languages as standard. --UI for tablets
Setting is difficult if the setting screen etc. is only full screen display and it is a single window.
Full screen display is recommended for ordinary windows.
