Hi,
KDE 4.7's plasma is now centered around activities - breaking once more the way many of us work with KDE.
Many on IRC voiced the oppinion that the activity manager shouldn't be part of the default plasma - including me.
But this would be a major divergence with upstream's default, so I would like to discuss more widely first. What's your oppinion?
Do you prefer virtual desktops or plasma activities?
I much prefer virtual desktops. For me it has always been one main raison d'etre of why I like/prefer KDE so much. This carries with it the fact that most computing I do, whether at work or at home, is primarily on a fixed machine. I might very well consider venturing into the 'Activities' realm should I find myself in a situation where I was utilizing mobile computing more. If I spent enough time using a laptop in coffee shops, I might try it out for separation between work-related sysadmin functions and off-work personal stuff. My thoughts are that 'Activities' is potentially more oriented to a mobile platform environment. Should the majority of those using KDE be doing so in this mobile environment I might see the argument tilting in that direction. Whatever the largest number of people want is probably where the default should go, I just prefer not to get hit by a bus because my attention is fixated on some gadget, but that's just me... -Mike -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde+owner@opensuse.org
