The KDE desktop is represented by the “plasma-desktop” package and the Xfce desktop by the “xfdesktop” package. Colour scheme: green text = latest stable version, red text = development or beta version. The function determining beta versions is not 100% reliable due to a wide variety of versioning schemes.
