Yay more KDE!!! I only wish making a startup had meant I would have my computer nearby instead of only Android devices... Can I get KDE into Android??? No?

  A interesting note here: I noticed my karma was swinging wildly. Using the "threads" button, I noticed that the "YAY more KDE!!!" post is the culprit, it is swinging between -5 and +5 I expected such things usually from posts of controversial political opinions, not of a "Yay KDE!" comment. I guess there are lots of fans and haters of KDE? Maybe fans of GNOME are downvoting while KDE lovers are upvoting? It is interesting sometimes to see how people might get trigger happy, and stingy with personal software choices. I guess if I said that I hate Emacs and love Vim the result would be the same (the swinging Karma)

    Probably just haters of emotional outbursts on HN in general. Usually a signal that the rest of the post will be content-free, opinion, cheerleading, etc.

    It's because there are two types of voters: those that vote because they agree or disagree with a sentiment and those that vote because the comment was useful and added to the conversation. We want more of the second group voting; the first group's votes are useless and counterproductive. Your first comment completely deserves a downvote by the second group, and your second comment is intresting but off-topic; I generally vote those up if I vote on it at all.

    Whoo! But it seems to be Gnome and Debian leaning... But whoo!!!

      Debian easily allows the install of KDE under alternative desktops in the boot setup menu instead of the default Gnome 3. Also recommend using at least Debian Testing repositories if you want things to be relatively new. https://extendedreality.files.wordpress.com/2012/03/2_debian_wheezy_net_advopt_altde-e1331638914541.png?w=710 https://extendedreality.files.wordpress.com/2012/03/2_debian...

        Debian testing is frozen with KDE 4.8.4 and it's very stable (more so than recent Kubuntu releases, imo). Adventurers can always use the siduction's kdenext repo, which is at 4.9.5 atm. I'm sure 4.10 will be released there soon. "deb http://packages.siduction.org/kdenext http://packages.siduction.org/kdenext unstable main"

          KDE 4.9.5 it's already packaged in Debian, see: http://lists.debian.org/debian-kde/2013/01/msg00060.html http://lists.debian.org/debian-kde/2013/01/msg00060.html, although those packages are targeted to sid, it works with testing after pulling a couple libs of sid.
