Many people still love it. For me, KDE 3 was fine but caused sever eyestrain when I used it. I never had an interest on going back.
But I am glad it exist, it proves you do not have to make changes "just because", but just change to make it run a bit better, eliminate bugs but keep the same "soul".
FWIW, I stick with fvwm, now on v3.
- keyle 2y agoI'm curious what caused you eyestrain if you ever found out? Small font or something more?
- jmclnx 2y agoMy eyes have minor issues, but the largest contributor were the colors. At the time with fvwm I had no issues at all. KDE4 was better but the issue still existed. KDE5 I can last most of the day. Hoping KDE6 is better. FWIW, Gnome* also never caused issues. I did spend lots of time looking for a color theme for it and in the 4.0 days I found a theme I think was called "happy_eyes", it worked with minor tweaks. For KDE5 I found calm-eyes.
- dartharva 2y agoBack then you were probably using CRT or some other low-res monitors which would have given you eye-strain regardless.
- jmclnx 2y agoI wish that was the case, but it carried over to LCD when the CRT monitor fizzed out. Also as mentioned, just about any other environment caused me no issues.
