Hello Jerry and the List Readers,
I'm OK with KDE 4.1 knowing it's still a work in progress. There are only 2
things noted for myself....
1. You have to take the time and initiative to get into this new way of doing
business. It's not as intuitive as previous versions. Being creatures of
habit, it's hard to see pass the little things. I view this as a means of
keeping Linux in general as a young persons OS. With MS's "V word" from
Redmond having a form of eye candy that appeals to the young crowd, we within
Linux community shouldn't over look why we originally adopted this as the OS
of choice.
2. The only thing that does bug me about KDE 4.x is it's slow response time to
inputs... like resizing windows. Now with that said, I only have this issue
with the ATI cards and not the NVidia. So it's not really a dig against KDE
but of ATI/AMD for still lagging on performance under Linux.
It been clearly stated that maybe KDE 4.x shouldn't been the default desktop
on SuSE 11.1. But it does accomplish something that has been needed, a lot of
user inputs from all types of systems. What a better way of quickly
identifying the problems and moving this forward as a next generation user
interface.
Just my thoughts without flames.
Happy Holidays

Am I the only one who's happy with v11.1 and KDE4?
