Listmates, 11.0 Desktop Summary All-in-all, kde3 (except for the kde4 induced gtk issue, missing menu and control panel issues on x86_64) finished life in 11.0 in phenomenal shape. It was truly enjoyable to use. Gnome finished in fantastic shape even for remaining at an ancient 2.2.0 release point.
11.2 is GNOME 2.28; which isn't ancient at all. And 11.3 is GNOME 2.30.x which is current.
11.3 Opportunities Hopefully the opensuse devs will continue to put effort into keeping a good desktop selection available for 11.3.
vs. paddling naked around the pool naked while singing drinking songs??? This statement is pointless and derogatory.
I would have gladly transitioned to kde4 if the normal simple things worked reliably, but it is hit and miss. 160+ bug reports opened and counting.
Bug report counts mean nothing.
Take it to heart there are many more good desktop choices out there besides kde4 that are stable and efficient right now. If 1% of the effort currently being spent by opensuse on kde4 was committed to packaging these desktops for 11.3,
What was your metric for measuring that effort as 1%? You know you could just go use Gentoo? Then you wouldn't have to rely on any lazy slackers.
then 11.3 could be just as solid a release as 11.0 was from a desktop standpoint -- and hopefully it will be.
It is looking very solid to me. GNOME 2.30.x offers some very nice
improvements.
