Love the pragmatism and what a relief to read that someone is not running a Mac!
Any reason why you are still on KDE 3.x? The latest 4.x are finally getting there, with some tweaking def. stable and usable.
- cperciva 16y agoI tried KDE 4 a while back (maybe last summer?) and didn't like it at all. I'm very conservative in terms of UI -- my KDE3 desktop looks very much like the Windows 95 desktop I used 10-15 years ago -- and all of the modern glitz bothers me. That said, I'll probably upgrade to KDE4 some time soon... and then disable all of the distracting graphical features.
- w1ntermute 16y agoSeems like KDE 4 is stable enough for regular use, as long as you don't delve into any of the more fancy features.
- cperciva 16y agoYep, that's what I've been hearing. Right now the main thing holding me back from upgrading is inertia.
- w1ntermute 16y agoI tried 4.0 in a VM upon release, and that scared me away from the 4.x series until 4.2. Even in 4.2, I had a lot of issues because of my heavily customized setup. I'd say that if you're happy with 3.5.x, stick with it as long as there are no major security holes. I got tired of basic functionality being broken even in 4.3, and left for greener pastures (Openbox). I only briefly experimented with 4.4, so I can't really comment on it (though from what I did see, I was not enamored at all).
- fs111 16y agowell you can disable all the bling-bling, so not so much to worry. IMHO is the new version of konsole really nice, which is actually the KDE program I use the most.
