10 things you might want to do in KDE SC 4.4
,----[ Quote ]
| With the release of KDE Software
| Compilation 4.4, many may feel tempted to
| give KDE Plasma Desktop (previously known
| as just âKDEâ, see Repositioning the KDE
| Brand) a try. Plasma Desktop introduced in
| KDE SC 4 behaves quite differently from
| other popular desktop workspaces, and
| without doubt many new users will feel
| slightly lost and confused the first time.
|
| Iâve gathered some tips for new users to
| get a more familiar desktop, based on
| frequently asked questions Iâve seen in
| various places. This is in no way a â10
| things you should doâ list â itâs up to you
| to decide which way you like better.

Fresh Faces, Universal Access, and Really Plain Text
,----[ Quote ]
| The 4.4 release will be come with Kubuntu
| 10.04, that old Lucid Lynx, but it was
| backported to 9.10 for those of us who
| prefer to run a stable release over alpha
| code. I'll tell you how to add those
| repositories to your system in a moment,
| but let me start by telling you about KDE
| 4.4.

| It's so beautiful, I think I'm going to cry

| with the company behind gitorious.org get
| the next steps in the git migration process
| sorted, huge strides forward on the
| mobilizing of kdelibs, the first runs of

| Javascript, the start of work on the new

Arch Linux + Kdevelop + Irrlicht 3D + Blender
,----[ Quote ]
| Kdevelop was another application that I
| noticed was much quicker. Under Ubuntu I could
| barley use KDE as it was but now I can use KDE
| and the KDevelopment system and I have no lag
| issues at all. Iâm really starting to wonder
| what the Ubuntu team is adding to their
| distribution to make it such a hog.

KDE or Openbox
,----[ Quote ]
| I love KDE, and the latest release is better
| than ever. Itâs easy, fast, beautiful, all
| that.
|
| So when I installed Arch on another partition
| in another attempt to to find the cause behind
| those pesky network problems, and I slapped
| Openbox on it because I didnât want to waste
| my bandwidth on a KDE install Iâd never use, I
| certainly didnât think I would consider using
| it full time.

KDE 4.4 Mail Misunderstanding Explained & Akregator Surprize
,----[ Quote ]
| I've gotten quite a few responses to my
| quickie look at KDE 4.4 under Mandriva
| written for this week's Distrowatch Weekly.
| One of which came from Aaron J. Seigo
| himself. I thought I might share some of
| what he said since several people expressed
| similar concerns on the topic here in
| comments. I also found one really super-
| duper neato new feature in Akegator in 4.4
| that deserves a mention.
|
| [...]
|
| Akregator used to display polls and such as
| plain text, but with 4.3.2 polls rendered
| in radio-button or clickable format. That
| was kinda nice. But today I discovered
| something even better.
|
| For Webmasters/bloggers/whoever that allow
| such, videos can now be watched right from
| Akregator. I don't know any real details,
| if only certain formats are supported and
| such, but I'm almost thinking they'd have
| to be oggs. I'm not sure if Flash videos
| would work as I disable all such in
| Konqueror/KDE. I'll check next time I see
| where someone embeds one in a feed.

Personalizing KDE 4.4
,----[ Quote ]
| Sticking with our KDE theme this week, itâs
| time to learn how to make KDE 4.4 yours.
| Youâve downloaded it, youâve used it, and
| now you want to personalize it. You might
| find things are a bit different than the
| KDEs of yore (especially if youâre just
| coming into KDE from 3.5). But no matter
| what release youâre coming from, itâs
| always good to know where and how to
| configure the look and feel of your
| desktop.
|
| In this article I am going to show you how
| to make KDE 4.4 look and feel just the way
| you want it to. We wonât bother getting
| into setting up Compiz, this is just
| straight up KDE goodness. Nor will we
| discuss the installation of KDE â I will
| assume that is already complete.

KDE 4.4 Review, Screenshot Tour (and KDE 4.0 Comparison)
,----[ Quote ]
| 21,000 closed bugs later, the KDE team has
| announced the new KDE 4.4 and I simply had
| to take a look. After all, the last time I
| took KDE 4 Series for a spin was back when
| I still thought open source was one word.
| To think I actually praised this thing:
|
| Most of you will remember the flak KDE got
| for releasing an immature desktop
| environment experiment as âgoldâ, and
| rightfully so: even though many Linux
| distributions almost immediately included
| it, nobody could really fit the unstable
| KDE 4.0 into their workflow.
|
| [...]
|
| This review of course depended greatly on
| the quality of the KDE 4.4 integration in
| Fedora 13, so take it with a pinch of salt,
| though Iâm confident you will get pretty
| much the same experience on production
| releases. I recommend you try KDE 4.4 only
| if you have a decently powerful machine, I
| wouldnât run it on a netbook, to be honest,
| it consumes more resources than other
| lighter desktop environments. The KDE guys
| are doing an excellent job and they deserve
| more users, so give v4.4 a try, it might
| just be a keeper!

KDE Review: KDE 4.4 Comes in from the Cold
,----[ Quote ]
| Between radical changes and limited
| functionality, the KDE 4 series got off to
| a rough start. However, with each release,
| KDE 4 has improved steadily and silenced
| more critics. Now, with the KDE 4.4
| release, the series has reached first
| maturity.
|
| Those who expect everything to behave
| exactly as it did in the KDE 3 series may
| still struggle with 4.4. But, for those
| willing to accept change, 4.4 has no
| shortage of new features to offer, ranging
| from the implementation of several long-
| term directions to enhanced usability on
| the desktop -- including Plasma Netbook, a
| new interface designed specifically for
| netbook computers.
|
| [...]
|
| But, by far the greatest desktop innovation
| in KDE 4.4 is one that is also the simplest
| -- the ability to group windows by tabs.
| This feature is implemented by a single
| item added to each window's menu. Yet the
| implications for easing users' workflow is
| immense.

Five useful KDE 4.4 widgets
,----[ Quote ]
| With the rise of KDE 4.4 comes a new crop
| of desktop widgets (or Plasmoids). Earlier
| renditions of KDE 4.x saw the Plasmoids
| less than useful. The latest workings,
| however, have become quite useful,
| productive even.
|
| In this article I will introduce you to
| five of those Plasmoids that can help your
| productivity in one way or another. I will
| also show you how the Plasmoids are now
| installed.
