I’m constantly surprised at this point how anyone fails at it. Not to mention there are a number of distros that provide them out of the box now and somehow people still say they couldn’t install it.

Finally time to bust this out again.

Believe it or not. kde’s khelpcenter is what I have been using. Not sure if it includes images, but it renders simple html files and according to the Arch package. It is only like 7 MiB. Way better and faster than using a whole browser, but doesn’t really support javascript obviously.

Yep, I remember when distros had to ship git versions of sddm with unmerged patches to fix issues because of the disconnect between the sddm maintainer and kde developers who seem to be doing most of the work. They are unfortunately limited to goals and architecture of that separate project project and its maintainer and its finally time to get away from it.
