A few days ago, I found a question which was something like this:-

How can I configure KDE to look like this:-

Some image

The image provided is not the exact image in the post but it was something similar to Orchis theme.

The question was closed as Off-topic because the poster was on Manjaro!

But just for the future, Are questions about configuring any desktop environment On-Topic on Ask Ubuntu?

If No, then what kind of flag should be raised?

Edit:

I think so that @cocomac has misunderstood my question. I am talking about the OP is using the default kde plasma-desktop:

default kde

And they want to fully configure their desktop to look like:

configured

The question @cocomac is suggesting is not what I am asking. In those questions, OP is asking to configure a specific part of the kde desktop, not full kde.

    I would think that someone asking the question for a supported release of Kubuntu would be on topic 🤔

    Which is why the comment section would be used to really narrow-down the requirements, I think ...

Sure. Why not? What would be the basis for considering such questions off-topic? Questions about configuring any desktop environment on Ubuntu can be asked.

The question in question was rightly closed because the OP was running Manjaro. If they were running Ubuntu (including all official flavors), then there would be no scope issue with the question.

There is also nothing else wrong with the question; it clearly shows the desired result, so is sufficiently clear and focused.

  • @someone okay - how's that? I think you can edit again to remove the response to cocomac's answer as it has been deleted

    @someone no rush, you can just do it when it's convenient for you

  • I just removed my answer because you answered it well, and I realized that I completely misread the question so my answer didn't make much sense.
