Like Mythbuntu a looong time ago. It's a shame- most of those projects were very interesting!
Multiple DEs on one install~ Plasma-Gnome(Zorin's version hopefully)-Unity? ~Sddm Desktop switching not appearing.

- Start date
Projects sometimes get forked if a well known project dies or part of the user base disagrees with the direction a project is going.

Like Forks of Cent OS?
Yes, like those. Or when Antergos died en from the ashes of Antergos EndeavourOS was created.
About us - EndeavourOS
When the popular Arch-based distro Antergos ended its run in May 2019, it left a friendly and extremely helpful community...

That's the same with GTK, natural with UI evolution.
GNOME has indeed completely obsoleted their extension management a few releases back. None worked out the box anymore, as they also withdrew the default way to install extensions, switching to a browser-based extension. I remember trying all available replacemnts for a simple tiling-mode I used sometime on one desktop when it happened. I ended up disabling all extensions on that desktop. It was a right mess.

KDE doesn't have any extensions and widgets are not extensions, but even if you count them like they are, they're still maintained by KDE devs so it just works, I don't use them so don't know.
Yes GIMP extensions are mostly maintained upstream, and that's a big plus vs when community maintains it, that's my point,
GIMP is just one example, but VSCode is even better example, so many extensions (mostly by community) but they don't break, I guess because of solid extension framework.
This is just wrong, you can't expect everybody to update everything, so there will always be breakages.
yes. enough gnome talkguess we should get back on topic cause this might be confusing for OP as we've strayed off a bit
I'll never embrace it no matter what happens anyway.
Enough DE talk, since neither are perfect.yes. enough gnome talk

Thank you all! now it is time to wrestle with Vbox (OI- no where near what I remember on 22.04)~ Gnome and plasma are both installed. Drivers are being a pain (Problems with EFI Driver signing)~ Getting on it soon!
Thank you All!
Thank you All!
What are you having trouble with, EFI setup is setup by the installer?

But secure boot is enabled, and I don't know how that can affect it- or how the Surface-Kernel changes things.
Can't help much now. On a small phone screen. But you using Windows as a host with virtualbox or using Linux distribution as a host with virtual box?

I am using VBox on Linux. I have just decided W11 was not working for me- and I got plasma to a point of liking..
Still keep older versions of windows around for UI-reasons ( I still like Win8 and Vista's UI). I have installed through KDE's store. (Tried APT through Terminal-did not like that!)

Try disabling secure boot in the UEFI, then see if it works then.

Thank you for helping even on that screen! I know it's complicated.
Will do!
Unless you find a major difference between "extensions" and "plugins" (I don't), then KDE certainly does have Extensions.
The following
https://apps.kde.org/dolphin/
mentions both extensions and plugins. I have used them from time to time.
Cheers
