We are all being perp-walked to KDE4 I'm afraid.
No you are not. There are still plenty of distros that give you KDE3.
OK.. Name one that has Yast, and a couple of other goodies that only come with suse/opensuse.
I haven't a clue what these mysterious goodies are. As for yast, what's so great about it? Every distro I've seen has a set of tools, and frankly I don't find yast as good as some of the others.
Very true.. But if you use something day in and day out, you get used to it. I can get around yast pretty fast. Tried a couple of others and didn't like them. Just me..
Some of us have been using suse for quite a long time. I don't want to switch. It's just that simple.
Please yourself.
From the looks of it, 11.1 will be the last until probably around the 12 series because I really dislike kde4. It's personal. Nothing against the developers except that it looks like someone was trying to copy vista.
I've never used vista. All I know is that I once read an early review of vista which concluded that all it had was already in linux - and that was before KDE 4 - so I don't see the relevance.
I don't use it either. But I've tried to help folks that have it, and l didn't say anything about usability. I guess I should have said that it looks like vista. And even in kde4's current state, I know it's better than vista. It's just the look that I can't stand.
Widgets? What the heck is a widget? plasma? what is that? I don't want to spend hours just to get the functionality of what I've been using for years.
Why did we spend hours writing a glossary on userbase, so that you would get answers to these questions? Why is it that others should take the trouble, not you?
So I install it, then have to go find all the answers to questions I've got? Let's see. Went from kde1 to 2 without that. Went from kde2 to 3 without that. Am I missing something?
You come into the conversation and make statements like this. And you've been using SUSE products for how long?
Hardly any time at all - and I can't get out soon enough, but that's my personal view. It doesn't make suse wrong for you, but it is hopeless for me. I'll go back to distro that does work for me. I won't bitch about the things I dislike, I'll just do something about it. Which is simply what I'm advising you to do.
I was showing your prejudice. You said go somewhere else. I simply stated that I didn't want to and explained why. You came here trying to sway folks with your statements. Now you say you can't wait to leave. Now why did I not expect anything less. Stir the pot and then get out of the kitchen.
