What is Digg?62 Comments
- myhandleondigg, on 08/04/2008, -2/+30Holy moly, it is hard to believe this site isn't a parody.
- InspectorGadget, on 08/04/2008, -4/+25What barely literate ***** wrote this drivel? Buried. Learn to write.
- daliminator, on 08/04/2008, -0/+9Oh, how I love engrish and stretched out banners! I love this site!
- Dongvid, on 08/04/2008, -3/+12Didn't say too much, but I agree that OpenSUSE does KDE right! If you're a GNOME fan, I'd like to see where your loyalty lies after trying OpenSUSE's KDE. Very impressive.
- rabiddawgr, on 08/04/2008, -0/+8Yup...Buried for garbage. Also I can understand running itunes under wine if you have DRMed stuff ...but bitcomet....WHY?!
- phantom_mullet, on 08/04/2008, -6/+14I know I'm going to get dugg down to digg hell for saying this, but I still think KDE looks like ass, even the new 4.1 version. I don't know what it is about it, but it just screams "I was designed by a programmer." I feel like the taskbar is incredibly clunky and overcrowded, and the overall feel of the interface is not very aesthetically pleasing. I really think UI is one of the bigger problems with getting the everyday user to use Linux.
And yes, I have installed it for myself and tried it firsthand. I don't really like GNOME much more, but I can tolerate it. - inactive, on 08/04/2008, -4/+12Too bad man. Most screenshots of KDE4 could be so much better. People are so basic. You never see the panel moved. Hello, it can be moved, and re-sized. I don't know; I'm a critique. Too harsh I suppose. Nevertheless, love KDE. Just wish people who posted screenshots would make it look as beautiful as possible.
- wilderworks, on 08/04/2008, -1/+9Buried for atrocious writing. Cut out the cellphone speak.
- LucianSolaris, on 08/04/2008, -0/+7KDE, hands down.
unless you wanna be one of those 'idiots' the GNOME team designed their DE around (reference Linus Torvalds for more information) - oobuntu, on 08/04/2008, -0/+6i'm sorry dude but that's hideous. KDE deserves so much better
- innovati, on 08/04/2008, -2/+8Suse has always been a great system, but it never stuck with me. For me the first super-distro with real sticking power was not Suse but Kubuntu.
Both offer wonderful, current and complete solutions for KDE and I can't wait to see what else happens in the future!
Do check out the KDEfour liveCD (based originally on opensuse) and Kubuntu live. - deepbl, on 08/04/2008, -0/+6Yeah, that was actually a joke, which is why I said "probably" and put a smiley face at the end of the sentence.
- fucter, on 08/04/2008, -0/+6you can install them all, and see which you like better
- KAMiKAZOW, on 08/04/2008, -0/+5KDE 4.1 works nice for me since its Release Candidate (I'm on openSUSE 11.0). There are a few quirks here and there it's but not "buggy as hell".
- deepbl, on 08/04/2008, -1/+6I'm a KDE user, and I agree 100%. The default, "out of the box" look is simply horrible.
That being said, KDE makes it easy to change that default look into something more personally satisfying (even if that means radically changing the desktop into something totally different). With GNOME, you don't have quite as many options - at least last time I checked.
I'm not sure it's GNOME vs KDE as much as it's gtk vs qt - I think there's just more of a variance in qt themes, whereas gtk themes all seem to have certain similarities that you can't get away from. - deepbl, on 08/04/2008, -0/+5Yeah, maybe in the "bleeding edge" version. The "stable" Debian release is probably still using KDE 2.1 - they're holding out for a few more bugs in 3.0 to get fixed. ;-)
- JakeW, on 08/04/2008, -1/+5So, you don't support Digg.com, Gmail.com, FaceBook, Skreemr, or any other major website that tries to make a little extra cash, or even just money to cover server costs?
You, my friend, are the reason why ads have become such a problem, and so hard to get away from - deepbl, on 08/04/2008, -0/+4Interesting. There's only one solution that will definitely solve the problem - pack up your computer, and load it in the car. Drive to the nearest tall cliff, and throw the computer over the side. Then jump after it, and use it to break your fall. Voila - two birds, one stone.
- aseigo, on 08/04/2008, -0/+410.1 was an abortion of a release, plain and simple (as was 10.0), imho.
10.3 saw Suse return to respectability, and 11 is delivering what i remembered from the old SuSE team =) - unitedatheism, on 08/04/2008, -1/+4I wonder how people come to this, I really like KDE 3.5 interface.
Everything seems properly integrated, I can scroll up/down the mixer instead of having to pop it up like in Windows, kopete integrates pretty good with the environment, KNetworkManager works out-of-the-box and so on... The only thing that sucks is having to use konqueror as the browser imo.. - TheOther1, on 08/04/2008, -1/+4or Gentoo
- KAMiKAZOW, on 08/04/2008, -0/+3openSUSE's GNOME is very good as well. I like how SUSE integrated YaST modules and GNOME Preferences applets into a unified "control panel".
IMHO openSUSE is a good distro to have both desktops installed because both are equally well supported. - kwilliam, on 08/04/2008, -0/+3In the long term, definately go with KDE because the underlying technology (Plasma, Phonon, Akonadi, Decibal) has it set to become supercool over the next few years. Short term, either Gnome or KDE will do, Gnome has a little more support from industry (for licensing reasons).
- arcticblue, on 08/04/2008, -0/+2I don't know... I kinda like it. It reminds me of the first time I used Linux and tried to tweak it (SuSE 6.4 I think). All it's missing is an XMMS window.
- deepbl, on 08/04/2008, -1/+3The name of the user who submitted the story is posted right next to the "bury" button - not just here, but on every story.
- tushyd, on 08/04/2008, -0/+2I'm a gnome man myself, but I recently have been messing with e17, and really am liking it
- kdesu, on 08/04/2008, -0/+2Right click on the image, choose "Adblock image", click apply...
- JakeW, on 08/04/2008, -1/+3What you really should have been pointing to... is why you have Vista
- mike215, on 08/04/2008, -0/+2that fedora one looked pretty nice. i used to use suse & opensuse alot but the rpm dependency problems after a while drove me away, its probably why i never bothered checking out fedora. i know they improved it alot since then though.
- kwilliam, on 08/04/2008, -0/+2Naw, Kubuntu 8.04 had KDE 4.1 the day it was released. The author just didn't know where to look apparently.
- InsaneMachine, on 08/04/2008, -1/+3OpenSUSE is nice, but when I used it (10.1) I thought it was too bloated, and was slow. After recompiling the kernel and removing some stuff, it started respoding a bit better, but still kinda slow. Doesn't even compare to slackware.
- LucianSolaris, on 08/04/2008, -0/+2I may install KDE 4.4, but probably won't touch it until 4.5 or 4.6
I need an awesome, /STABLE/ DE, anything else can be experimental. - LucianSolaris, on 08/04/2008, -0/+2i one up you:
http://supremeoverlord.trideltatech.net/pub/snapsh ...
function over form! - unitedatheism, on 08/04/2008, -0/+2There are not that much of bugs, at least not on the KDE I've tried.
Also, they're doing a great job letting it use the same or less processing power than previous version.
The only problem is that the menus now look like they've been vista-ed. That new interface really bothered me.
Even worse is that KDE looking like a fancy Macintosh. Any guy who uses linux to fake a mac _must be shot_ due to stupidity overflow in his class. - LucianSolaris, on 08/04/2008, -1/+3it (or at least mine) looks shexy:
http://supremeoverlord.trideltatech.net/pub/snapsh ... - LucianSolaris, on 08/04/2008, -0/+2same here. if you have a DVR with a 30 sec skip to skip ads, you (or at least I) would use it. if you have adblock with a decent block filter, why wouldn't you use it? if anything, having a high view but low click rate would be worse money-wise for them anyway.
- LucianSolaris, on 08/04/2008, -0/+2problem, you must beat a low drag falling body with a head start to the ground and unless you plan to propel yourself down you'll never beat it!
- DougVitale, on 08/13/2008, -0/+1Check out the KDE edition of Linux Mint. http://www.linuxmint.com/download.php
- LucianSolaris, on 08/04/2008, -0/+1haha, even that would be an improvement over GNOME!
- kodek, on 08/04/2008, -0/+1Get the element hiding helper plus a good subscription.
And disable Adblock on sites you'd like to support. - rdvon, on 08/04/2008, -0/+1I find using kde 4.1 in ubuntu is a horrible pain. I went from a nice desktop to corrupted video card drivers (i.e. terminal only) in 2 hours...
But through that horrible illiterate mess he did mention how much better it runs on Suse or fedora..
..Then again would you take his word for it? - deepbl, on 08/04/2008, -0/+1Plasmoids are the future, man. They're going to revolutionize how we do *****.
- Cupantae, on 08/04/2008, -0/+1Ugliest version of KDE I've ever seen
- FolkTheory, on 08/04/2008, -0/+1haha we got KDE 4.1.1 in Debian too...miles ahead of Ubuntu and Fedora!
- FolkTheory, on 08/04/2008, -0/+1oops lol
- Cupantae, on 08/04/2008, -0/+1Ratpoison on a commadore64
- BlueSkyfish, on 08/04/2008, -0/+1Because I'm at work and we can't just go around installing OSs on company computers. At home, my desktop runs Ubuntu and my laptop runs OpenSuse.
- Peterix, on 08/06/2008, -0/+1Well, the first thing that happened to me was that plasma crashed and left me with blank screen. KMail crashes every time I use it. I managed to bring the whole thing down (I wasn't able to log in anymore) by changing icon sets. The Nepomuk thing eats up 100% of CPU time. When I installed a new version of QT, the system tray stopped working. And so on and so forth... There's too much to even keep track of.
To to it off, Plasma shows only a checkerboard pattern with the recent ATI driver (6.9.0).
I call that "buggy as hell". Hell, I call that "pre-alpha". It's showing a lot of promise though. I'll keep it around and hunt down some bugs... - LucianSolaris, on 08/04/2008, -0/+0forgot to mention, the left and right panels autohide
