Hi all,
I've got an OpenSuSE 11.1 box on which I used to log in under KDE 4 for quite some time. Now I tried GNOME... and some things, like Yast2, for instance, look drastically different.
Why would that be? Is there a good rationale (or any rationale, for that matter) behind that practice?
Why? Because Yast has three different frontends, and perhaps more than that, depending on the desktop. You can force one or the other - for example: yast2 --qt
By the way, GNOME seems to be more responsive than KDE 4 though there are still some issues to be worked out. Does anybody else feel that way - or is it just me?
Yes, I do. It has always been so, specially on slower machines. It probably has to do with kde being made with C++, and gnome with plain C. I understand that much work has gone into the C++ compiler optimization, precisely because of this problem. Then, kde4 has been modernized a lot, lots of improvements "for show", while gnome hasn't - yet. You should, perhaps, compare it with kde3. - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.
