- appelza 10y agoNot really. KDE1 was not meant as a low resource application, and it's probably slower than KDE5 in fact.
- Zardoz84 10y agoWorked really well on a 486 or an K6-2 . I don't get your point that would be slower that KDE 5.
- heliocastro 10y agoGuys, is FAST as hell, and the screenshot was taken from inside KDE 1 using a PLasma 5 application, so in general sparse term, is usable. I will make it totally usable in next weeks tough, as i didn't have time to port 100 %.
- Yaggo 10y agoKDE 1.0 was release in 1998, almost two decades ago. Even a decade old machine low-end machine is scifi-high-end by 1998 standards. That being said, it may be impractical to browse the modern web with KHTML 1.0 (from which webkit was forked by Apple, hence it being a remote ancestor also for current Safari and Chrome!).
- Zardoz84 10y agoNo body forbid you of running Firefox/Chrome on KDE 1
- cmiles74 10y agoWhen KDE 1 came out, I had installed from source on a 75Mhz PowerPC 601 with 128MB of RAM[0] running MkLinux[1]. It ran acceptably, it was much more responsive that System 7.5.
