Alessandro17 Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 http://polishlinux.org/kde/kde-41-visual-c...log-rev-777000/ Author: Korneliusz Jarzebski KDE 4.1 will be what everyone expected 4.0 to be — a fully functional revolutionary Linux desktop. I took a look at the revision 777000 of this desktop environment and what you get is a visual changelog describing the current progress in terms of look and feel and the features.

Synaesthesia Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 Looks cool, KDE 4.0 was pretty much still a beta though, and they said so too...I actually wanna try 4.1 now, I haven't even gone near KDE 4.

MacUser2525 Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 I haven't even gone near KDE 4. Your not the only one KDE4 IS the reason I am running a Hackintosh now and I have used KDE since the pre-1.0 days as my desktop of choice almost think I will own a Mac soon if I can get by the sticker shock as they say damn expensive for what I would want to get...

Alessandro17 Posted February 25, 2008 Author Share Posted February 25, 2008 Looks cool, KDE 4.0 was pretty much still a beta though, and they said so too... That is true. The argument was basically about the name, as 4.0 suggests a stable release, but clearly it is not.

Ayanami Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 Wow....That looks pretty. Which is good, 'cause I hate Gnome. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/90095-kde-41-will-be-what-everyone-expected-40-to-be/#findComment-643034 Share on other sites More sharing options...
(MoC) Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 I hate Gnome too. It looks horrible and is very annoying. KDE-4 looks promising + kicks Gnome's ass!

industrie13 Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 sure, its really pretty - but please read the last sentence of the article too, at least before you get overexcited and try this revission: General stability The stability of this revision is very low. I experienced problems with windows scaling and drawing (in such case usually the minimize-maximize pattern used to fix it). Plasma was very unstable as well. It would crash completely in an unpredictable manner leaving a blank screen with no icons and toolbars whatsoever. I was thinking about installing it too ftom svn, but beeing in need of a more or less stable system, I'll wait until 4.1 is really ready in june Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/90095-kde-41-will-be-what-everyone-expected-40-to-be/#findComment-643044 Share on other sites More sharing options...

SticMAC™ Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 Just downloaded it! I'm actually posting from it now! I think in it's simplicity it is going to get a lot of users? Allesandro: "Yes. Very nice, but a bit too dumbed down (I couldn't even find a terminal)." if you use the command line from the green "G" in the top left corner, and you type TERMINAL, its like spotlight it finds it for you I think the old PC I just put in the basement just got another life extension!!!

xtraa Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 No offend, but to me it looks like an aqua mockup. Except the 2.5 years old StefanKa Longhorn theme with the glassy window-borders. They even took the same drive icons But besides this, I bet KDE 4 will be a good gui. (Personally, I prefer gnome if I have to use Linux).
