I really like Remix OS for it's great audio set-up with REAPER, but it doesn't have the wifi working for me, so it is very frustrating. Also, Xfce seems to lack some GUI controls that I really like in KDE, such as fine-tuned control for use of my multitouch trackpad. The whole Cairo launcher thing is kinda bloated too. I'd like to get REAPER working under a KDE system. What's the best way to do that? Start with a good KDE distro and install KXStudio and LinREAPER? Or start with Remix OS and then install KDE? (Or can I get Xfce to really work more like KDE?) Or something else? Of course, Remix is a no-go if I can't get wireless working...

kde wireless info here: http://wiki.debian.org/WiFi/HowToUse

If you install the wifi setup gui using synaptic, it will pull in the base libraries needed by kde,
and any needed utility, but not a whole kde system. I install k3b for burning media, and it just
adds the main library, and a few small items. Konqueror is very flexible and reliable for file management, but always verify deeply nested folders actually have contents after moving them.
I've been burned several times over the years.

Normally, all apps using a jackd session must run from the same user. all root,
or all you. You could try it the other way, and if it works, it works

You can install software during live dvd sessions for testing, it vanishes when you reboot.

Thanks for the help, slowpick.
Unfortunately, I didn't see this until I kinda gave up and went with KXStudio on Mint KDE. I didn't really like the setup of Remix OS desktop anyway, the whole Cairo thing and separate side bar. I didn't get a good feeling from Xfce. I really like KDE.

The real question now is: I still want to run REAPER, so if I do so under KXStudio, are there particular tools or settings I should do that Remix would have had but KXStudio would not?
