But choosing a Gnome app for a KDE install without some kind of explanation It does muddle unnecessarily a beginner's how-to. Flash, I understand. But at that point, the article is more about freebies as in beer than breaking any proprietary chains.
I appreciate the time Falko put into this tutorial. I'll be sharing it with others but, it'll be going out with this big caveat: "To fully replace a Windows desktop," it is not necessary nor advisable to load whatever DRM-riddled apps that Windows users have to suffer.

The only issues I have had are with HP printer drivers, during updates but that isnt pclinuxos but the source of the drivers.
Use the forum. There are lots of experienced people there. Once your all working, it will be a joy to use. I wish I could persevere, I have spent a good few days on this and the deal-breakers for me are: 1 does not support native Linux Virtualization — and every forum comment by experts and maintainers suggest it is VirtualBox or VMware or nothing 2 like some Arch Distros — it can see my printer, installs it, but will not print.
Devuan just worked out of the box — I did not even have to go to printers or look for drivers — I would still be on Devuan now except that there was no easy way to get HI DPI monitors to work, and sleep and hibernate were faulty. PCLOS does 4k monitors just great.
