KDE4 with Ubuntu Gutsy (first impressions)

,----[ Quote ]
| Conclusions
| 
| There are lots of features I haven’t discovered yet and there’s still a lot 
| of polishing to do on it, but its beautiful, fun and safe to use. I’ve been 
| using KDE4 at work for the whole day, and I know its very premature to say 
| it, but I think its a great release, great changes, and with a very, very 
| promising future ahead.

| Not mine, but one Korneliusz Jarzebski (in Polish) has done the numbers 
| (pro-linux coverage in German) and produced a chart showing exactly how the 
| RAM consumption of comparable KDE4 and KDE3 sessions measure up.

KDE 4: like a dream on 256Mb/1Ghz/Intel!

,----[ Quote ]
| And I was pleasantly surprised with how well it all works. With a "debugfull" 
| build from SVN. With kwin_composite 3d eye candy, on Intel. With KDE 3 
| libraries loaded too (for KPowerSave, since it's not ported yet). As they 
| like to say here in Franconia, it's like "a'Traum".

| fantastic wallpapers.

| KDE 4 uses a completely new visual style and icon set called Oxygen. The 
| Oxygen widget theme uses a lot of subtle gradients, light shadows, round 
| edges, and background highlighting.
