(This is a half-rant half actual question)
I wanted a nice qt theme to use on Scribus since Arc Dark doesn’t work on there. When I tried to install it, pacman said this will install 50 packages. 300 Mb in total.
Why does a theme need packages such as Kauth and Kwallet?
I’d check that you’re actually installing the most appropriate package. For instance on Ubuntu there’s
kid3which is a MP3 tag application that will pull in the entire k desktop environment. Or you can installkid3-qtwhich packages its own version of those dependencies and doesn’t pull an entire desktop environment in if you’re using a non-kde environment.Ubuntu is really bad with this. Installing npm pulls adwaita icon theme, xorg and half the gnome desktop for some reason.
Mental illness. And it seems breeze is the only package which offers the QT theme.
