We're especially interested in benchmarks and areas where we may be doing plain stupid stuff during boot (kernel, system or GNOME desktop).
Does this indicate that KDE is not interesting in this case?
I just had an intersting event yesterday where I got my shiny new SLED preinstalled HP Mininote with only GNOME on, and only GNOME available.
Now we are a Qt shop, use KDE and have for 7 years. It seems more and more likely that we will drop Novell as it is getting more and more apparent that Novell has made a choice on the desktop. This is not to complain, it´s probably sensible for Novell to focuse on one area in the proffesional market place , but it´s not in the interest of my employer.
I can't really speak for Novell's preload desktop policy - I suppose the vendor's preferences also come into play - however, we'd welcome efforts toward optimizing KDE. I don't have much experience with KDE code myself, though, and the same goes for the others currently involved in the desktop-end optimization. So while we'd be interested in optimized KDE packages, our resources are limited. It's an open project, though, so someone just needs to sign up and do the work (i.e. ideas, planning, implementation and QA). There's nothing stopping you from submitting performance fixes directly to the KDE packages either. -- Hans Petter -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
