- TheWiseNoob, on 10/10/2007, -0/+70HOLY ***** KDE4 is turning out to be more amazing than I ever expected it to be.
- schestowitz, on 10/10/2007, -3/+33Nice vids and pictures. Who cares about what language that is...? :-) Have a look if you're using KDE or think about moving to it.
- purpmint008, on 10/10/2007, -1/+25Something tells me that KDE4 is going to make Linux shine.
I for one can't wait to try KDE4 on Debian. - brickbat, on 10/10/2007, -1/+19KDE4 has all the eyecandy of OSX and Vista without all the DRM proprietary crap and ITS FREE!
Kubuntu is gonna be irresistible even for a old gnome guy like me. - schoate09, on 10/10/2007, -2/+20The whole internets aren't america, you know.
- troseph, on 10/10/2007, -0/+17I've been a hardcore gnome freak, but I think gnome will have to step up to keep me... This is looking sick.
- addiggt, on 07/06/2009, -1/+17Wow...
- Aythun, on 10/10/2007, -1/+17The response of GNOME will be "KDE4 is too confusing and gives the user too much choice, and our unusable and restrictive desktop environment is better."
- GMorgan, on 10/10/2007, -0/+15Qt looks as good as the theme applied to it.
- MattBD, on 10/10/2007, -1/+15I love KDE4! Can't wait for it to be available in Kubuntu!
- KirbyTheGenius, on 10/10/2007, -1/+14Gnome, you have served me well for many a year. Farewell, old friend, I'm a Konvert now.
- chedabob, on 10/10/2007, -0/+13Do you really need words to look at pictures and click play on a youtube video?
- GMorgan, on 10/10/2007, -0/+12The applets look really nice. Since these all communicate with their host apps via DBus we should be able to to get Gnome apps to work with KDE applets and vice versa. Convergence on these key technologies is a good thing.
KDE looks really polished at this point. It's nice to see some effort on the default look and feel.
Can't wait to see it released and to see the response of Gnome. - otomo, on 10/10/2007, -1/+12Am I the only geek that saw .pl and thought, ooh, perl, yes!
- KirbyTheGenius, on 10/10/2007, -0/+10Well, so much for humor.
- chedabob, on 10/10/2007, -0/+10Yeah. Amarok looks amazing.
- Jugalator, on 10/10/2007, -0/+10This release bodes well for a rich Linux desktop experience in the digital millenium.
- wipeout140, on 10/10/2007, -0/+10Its written in polish also the .pl domain helped figure it which language it was
- MrSpontaneous, on 10/10/2007, -0/+9You won't need Compiz Fusion - the new kwin will support desktop compositing. That said, you can override it and use Compiz instead... after all, Linux is all about choice. :-)
- HerbertScrunge, on 10/10/2007, -0/+8A port of Amarok is in the works. Most KDE4 apps *should* (eventually!) work on OS X and Windows with just a re-compile. Hopefully :)
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -0/+7Personally, I never install kubuntu. what i do is install the normal ubuntu, and then apt-get install kde (or kde4, in this case) I like the "vanilla" kde much better than Kubuntu.
- xxNIRVANAxx, on 10/10/2007, -0/+7if only there was a windows port... I am jealous!
- chedabob, on 10/10/2007, -1/+8Yeah. I've always been a big fan of Gnome, but KDE has come along leaps and bounds over the past few years.
- ricodued, on 10/10/2007, -1/+7So, I'm considering putting Linux back onto my machine because KDE4 is looking pretty damn sweet. What distro would be easiest to get KDE4 running on? I'm quite fond of SUSE, so if I can easily get it going on that it'd be great.
- miztaken, on 10/10/2007, -0/+6Hi, my name is Dick. What's yours? *****? That's a nice name.
- GMorgan, on 10/10/2007, -0/+6Did you actually read his comment. He didn't mention Aero. Instead he said he'd stick with Gnome for a bit.
- ioannusdeverani, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5What brushed metal??????
- dualscreenman, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5I love the way everything looks so far aside from Kicker, it will be needing some serious loving and care before the release.
*Prays that it will look like the mockups* - thecheatah, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4Do people know if kde4 will be available in the next release of kubuntu?
- 7of7, on 10/10/2007, -4/+8It looks pretty cool, but I think I have my Gnome system with Compiz Fusion stabilized to the point that I don't want to risk throwing everything out of whack. Maybe once Gutsy comes out I'll try to make a GKUbuntu system with both KDE and Gnome.
- daftman, on 10/10/2007, -1/+5Huh? I thought you're an MS fanboy. Did someone just hijack his account or MS stop paying you?
- AdamCo, on 10/10/2007, -2/+6openSUSE 10.3 is scheduled to be release October 4th and will have KDE3 by default, but contain some KDE4 applications. Here is a quote from the opensuse website:
"For openSUSE 10.3, the KDE Team is working on the base technologies of KDE 4. openSUSE 10.3 will offer by default a KDE3 desktop with single KDE4 applications. A complete preview of KDE 4.0 desktop can also be installed. The aim is to offer an easy way to update to the final KDE 4.0 release once it's available."

http://news.opensuse.org/?p=219 - nanostream, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3Oh not just Linux. Don't forget, this is supposed to be cross-platform.
- amfantasy, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3Amarok is already portable it will be on windows when kde4 is released
- 1LordAnubis, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3Wow, this is going to be great... I can finally use additional applets without cluttering up my taskbar.
- Senchou, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3They are two completely different things. KDE is a desktop manager while ubuntu is a linux distribution
- KirbyTheGenius, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3You can already use the beta:
http://kubuntu.org/announcements/kde4-beta2.php - chedabob, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3Doesn't do 3D from a Linux guest (yet).
- QuantumAvatar, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3Dolphin looks like its getting bloated with segments. Though alot cleaner than Vista Explorer it worries me. Time to do some configurations.
- HerbertScrunge, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3At over 300 "revisions" per day, I would say that they probably wouldn't :)
- djmdave, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3most distributions are making it very easy to install kde4, even today, while its still a pre-release. openSUSE provides kde4 packages that are updated roughly once a week. see http://en.opensuse.org/KDE4 for instructions. if you dont want to compile source code then this is your best option.
other distros provide milestone releases of kde4. kubuntu, for example, provides packages whenever there has been a new alpha or beta release and provides instructions for installing them on http://kubuntu.org
also, non of these packages will overwrite your current kde3 files, it just means you will have 2 konquerors, 2 konsoles etc. - StealthTomato, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3Raise your hand if you use CDE currently.
That's what I thought.
Nobody freakin' cares. - championchap, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3Since you're already a bit of a SuSE fan i'd say stick with that, though Kubuntu would be the direction I would tend to lean in.
No sense in learning something new if you're already comfortable with how SuSE works though. - jshabad00, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3As I recall they did play around with a TPM chip for a while...that might not be the case now, but perhaps you should clear that up as well.
- amfantasy, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2I believe it is also linked in against opengl so you won't get all those annoying bugs that compiz has.
- obxjdt, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2That's how I install also, but I install Kubuntu with Synaptic instead of just KDE. It installs all the other packages that you'll end up installing for KDE down the road. I'm running KDE4, on (K)Ubuntu 7.10 beta, but haven't set up all the eye candy. Until I can keep my four desktop separate, I'll stay on a 2D desktop. Having my task bar full all the time defeats the purpose of multi-desktops. If I'm using desktop 1, that's all I want to see, I don't care about apts on desktops 2, 3, & 4 at that time.
You should upgrade to 7.10! Still a bit buggy, but I like it. Tonnes of upgrades daily, but you have to expect that with a beta. The bug tracker is much better than before, one of the best I've seen, and seems to be working well for the team. - cynicist, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2nice lol, I can still read it
- aaronm67, on 10/10/2007, -0/+27.10 will NOT ship with KDE4 by default, but it will have an alternative download that has KDE4.
- championchap, on 11/13/2007, -0/+2I think he was looking more towards the iTunes theme than the old brushed metal look of like.. quicktime.
Hopefully just a mistake. - championchap, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2The cube makes it obvious what the 4 desktops are all about, moving from windows i only ever had 1.. and it was something entirely new to me at the time.
I wish i had that stupid spinning cube back then! -
