KDE 4 is currently not an option for serious desktop usage. Period. What scares me, though, is the fact that it will still not be an option in 4.3 and thus 11.2. Intermediate version upgrades from factory are not an option, either, so that means, for openSUSE the first working KDE desktop is still about 1.5 yrs from now...
The fact remains that the only sensible options for non-programmers like us, are either: 1) report problems and vote for bugs that are important to you - in the correct place depending on the problem (bugs.kde.org, bugzilla.novell.com or the qt bugtracker), or; 2) shut up and use kde3, gnome, xfce, ms windows or Mac OS if you seriously believe either one is a better option short term or long term - all things considered. Unless of course either one of you guys represent a large SLE customer, maybe then you can throw some weight around - and get higher priority for specific bugs which happen to be critical for you. Besides saying KDE4 is unusable because you personally are hit by a few inconveniences, is far fetched - especially as you _are_ actually using KDE4. Already when 11.0 was released with 4.0 a survey showed a very large uptake of KDE4, and surely 4.2 is a heck of a lot better than 4.0 was - actually 4.2 and 4.0 are completely different planets. And KDE4 is only just beginning to gain momemtum - a lot of major distros only made KDE4 their default within the last few months. KDE 4.2 factory packages are already a rather nice experience albeit a bit rough from time to time as should be expected from factory - sure it still has bugs and some regressions compared to KDE3, that's life, it also has tons of improvements over KDE3. By November official SUSE-enhanced KDE 4.3.x packages will be much, much better still than the current factory packages. Have some patience and perspective. A lot has happened in the last 14 months, and with KDE4 gaining momentum even more could happen in the next 8 months. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help@opensuse.org
