Sorry but you are spreading lies and FUD. This isn't based on anything.
I use KX repositories on various debian and devuan based machines and they work absolutely fine.
If you have issues with the repo please report them to falktx.
I don't know for who your remark is meant. But I was only telling what my experiences are on Ubuntu 20.04. Carla etc. - like you say - work just fine. No problems there. Neither has the topic starter.
I do not install anything other than Carla anymore from the KXStudio repo's. And I recommend other users to do the same. I have a very good reason for that. FalkTX himself definitely does
not want KXStudio to be used as a distribution: he quit being a member of this forum and on his
website it says on 2019-09-24:
[...] The KXStudio ISO images were taken down.
[...] Plasma and KDE ecosystem is changing too fast, it does not make it easy for what I want in KXStudio.
[...] Anyway, the bigger news is that the KXStudio repositories are coming back! [...] but not in a state that matches what they used to be before.
[...] General applications and tools will not be supported anymore. This is mainly to reduce the burden of maintaining the repos, as applications often have very complex dependencies compared to plugins (some are actually quite difficult to build). I will be packaging a few that I personally use, or that have stalled in feature development.
[...] KXStudio was and still is a one-person project (with the occasional help here and there for small things).
At that point in time I knew enough. Combine that with the fact that the Ubuntu 20 repo's indicate that they're for Ubuntu 18: that should be a warning. I don't care if the single maintainer of KXStudio has, or will ever, change his mind: KXStudio is history for me, other than Carla of course. That's FalkTX's baby and very usefull.
There are recent entries in the "News" part on his website that, luckily, mention Ubuntu 20 and 22. So his repo's indeed are compatible with the latest releases. However, I am not gonna read through 1.000 lines on remarks on someone's website to determine if the term "Bionic" is erroneous, adjusted or whatever. IMHO it's up to a maintainer - or developer - to be clear in his description of said repository. And if it doesn't work, I'm inclined to blame the deprecation of said repo (ver 18) and distro (version 22). Period.
Anyway, one (polite) user here reports that it's not working (which in first instance seems logical to me) and another (impolite) user says that it is. It's one against the other. Maybe you can help him instead of yelling and swearing. How should he get rid of said errors? Your reply is completely useless to the topic starter and plain rude.
I stand by my point that KXStudio should only be used for FalkTX's applications like Carla and
NOT anymore for installing the KXStudio. Why? Because the maintainer/developer of KXStudio says so
himself.
Next time reply politely and with substance. This is not Twitter.
