It seems like KDE already handles your needs: it's well-integrated, stable and has all the modern capabilities you could want. Certainly far better than XP! I've used KDE a fair bit, and the recent versions have been superb. Sure, it's heavyweight compared to some of its bare-bones competitors, but that's the only way to fulfill all your conditions.
Of course, the truly "professional" choice would be XMonad layered over something minimal. But that's a different discussion for a different time :P.
- mixmastamyk 13y agoIt would seem so. Unfortunately, I've given it a try every other year and have been disgusted every time. The technology is nice, but it feels like it was designed by 90's IT guy. Clutter and programmer-art is not what I am looking for either.
- bobjor 13y agoKDE at least the versions I have used have a bunch of little annoyances that just break usage for me. Mostly having to do with things like KWallet integration or other little pieces not working properly. I've used workstations that still run Windows 95/2000 for machines and they work great but KDE 4 leaves me missing its 3.x variant. XFCE could probably be a viable replacement though, it is familiar and easy to use it just has its little gotchas as well (which are more annoying on a laptop than a desktop though).
