Hi, thanks requesting this. Mageia is not a KDE Plasma-only distribution. We do provide a Mageia Control Centre for all desktop environments we provide. Also, I agree that several functionalities can be landed to "systemsettings5" (ala Manjaro) but this is beyond the scope of what we are. MCC is already a perl-based scripts/binaries and has a GTK front-end. We also have MPAN, a work-in-progress replacement for MCC written in Python and that rely on libyui for generating QT, GTK and ncurses front-end to have a setup tools desktop agnostic. We do acknowledge that having 2 separated tools to setup an installation can be confusing. Historically, MCC has been written in a time there is no good Desktop Environment provided tools for doing that. Today, Plasma systemsettings and GNOME Settings do have mostly all that is needed to configure the system. Free software are like that these days, every developers/DE tend to reinvent wheel somewhere. That's why there are many DE, graphical server, navigators, email clients,... So, after saying this. No, thanks. Resolution:

WONTFIX Also we support a lot of desktop environments other then gnome and kde plasma most of which do not include features that affect the system rather then just the user's environment.
