Alessandro17 Posted May 13, 2008 Author Share Posted May 13, 2008 btw, thanks for ripping the wallpapers. You are welcome, but I am beginning to believe that they look in all their glory only in KDE4 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/104565-new-opensuse-kde-four-live/#findComment-744651 Share on other sites More sharing options...
SDRacer48 Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 You are welcome, but I am beginning to believe that they look in all their glory only in KDE4 Yeah, i just tried them on my Vista install, and not so great. I have to say, some backgrounds can only look good with some operating system and their default themes. IE. Ubuntu 7.10 and OS X Tiger Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/104565-new-opensuse-kde-four-live/#findComment-744687 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alessandro17 Posted May 13, 2008 Author Share Posted May 13, 2008 I have been lazy with understanding KDE4 better, but could it have something to do with KWin/4.0? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KDE_4#Visual KWin, the KDE Window Manager from KDE 3, now provides its own compositing effects, similar to Compiz. Compositing is disabled by default in 4.0. (But this is 4.1 Alpha 1).

Alessandro17 Posted May 14, 2008 Author Share Posted May 14, 2008 When it comes to beauty, there is no doubt that KDE4 is a kicka$$ desktop. Concerning bugs and features we'll have to wait a little longer.

snakeeyes Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 I thought opensuse developers r back porting many features as well, is this true? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/104565-new-opensuse-kde-four-live/#findComment-746042 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alessandro17 Posted May 14, 2008 Author Share Posted May 14, 2008 I thought opensuse developers r back porting many features as well, is this true? Yes, but still KDE4 doesn't have as many features as KDE3.5 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/104565-new-opensuse-kde-four-live/#findComment-746317 Share on other sites More sharing options...
InorganicMatter Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 I might toy around with it, but I have never been impressed with OpenSUSE's live CDs. They always seem to be lacking in stability. Linux needs to be run from a normal hard disk. KDE4.1 looks exciting though! How is the stability?

snakeeyes Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 Well we will find out how stable it is once its out though. Kde 4.1 I doubt is stable right now as its in development.

chachawpi Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 KDE 4 is extremely frustrating to use. It feels like an alpha. It's not stable until Slackware ships it KDE 3 is still awesome though.

Alessandro17 Posted May 15, 2008 Author Share Posted May 15, 2008 KDE4.1 looks exciting though! How is the stability? Well, it is Alpha 1, so you can imagine. KDE 4 is extremely frustrating to use. It feels like an alpha. It's not stable until Slackware ships it When Patrick adopts something, it is super stable. A bit too conservative, perhaps.
