Review : KDE 4.1 - Next Gen Linux Desktop
,----[ Quote ]
| Conclusion : KDE 4.1 is a visual delight ,Plasma desktop is one of the
| coolest looking desktop shell you will find across Operating Systems, it is
| definitely Linux Desktop of the future and with the included frameworks like
| Phonon , Solid etc KDE 4.1 makes the task of developing applications for KDE
| relatively easy for developers.
|
| Impressed , A number of linux distributions like Kubuntu 8.10 and Mandriva
| Linux 2009.0 comes preinstalled with KDE 4.1, also it is relatively easy to
| install KDE 4.1 on Ubuntu , Fedora or anyother major distribution.

30 Cool Linux Login Screens

Pretty!

Hooray, it's a 4.1.1!

Shuttleworth has some nice words for KDE
,----[ Quote ]
| Is Mr Ubuntu, Mark Shuttleworth, slowly warming towards KDE? Or is the man
| merely trying to keep the KDE folk onside, after a whole host of "technical
| writers" have attacked the new release of that desktop environment?
|
| [...]
|
| Given the amount of flak that the recent KDE release - 4.0 - has taken from
| the pro-GNOME pundits at sites like linux.com, you would think that the worst
| possible thing any supporter of GNOME - as Shuttleworth is perceived to be -
| could do is to speak out in support of anything associated with KDE.
|
| But you would be wrong. Shuttleworth is now floating the idea that there can
| be a QT-based GNOME.

Screencast: Showing Off KDE 4.1
,----[ Quote ]
| KDE 4.1, which is supposed to become the KDE4 version usable by 'normal'
| people, is coming at the end of July. When Ars reviewed the beta release,
| they were positive in that it was moving forward at an "extraordinary pace".
| Despite the positive notions in the news, many seem to have problems actually
| seeing all the new stuff being done in KDE4 - just like how people fail to
| see the massive amount of work put into Vista. KDE developer Rafael Fernandez
| Lopez (I'm sorry for the lack of diacritical marks, an OSNews bug we're
| working on) decided to put together a screencast showing off all the new
| stuff coming in KDE 4.1.

I have KDE 4.1 installed on my Ubuntu laptop, and it's definitely more
stable and usable than KDE 4.0. However, I still have a few problems
with it. It's slow and sluggish, and the pager still doesn't work
properly with compiz effects like the desktop cube.
I'm still sticking with Gnome.
