Comments for KDE
Are the constant program crashes and glitches still an issue with this desktop environment?

great desktop shell but..
I've switched backwards and forwards between KDE and enlightenment/fluxbox for a long time now. KDE is a wonderful project and I think it's second to none in terms of features and integration.
I hope that the 3.4.2 release provides an experience that is not as bug ridden as the 3.4.1 release. I have considered every release of KDE so far to be too frustrating to be able to use for any length of time due to constant program crashes and glitches.
Awesome desktop
I usualy swap between kde and fluxbox. I use kde if i want to show off my system, and i use flux all the rest of the time. kde is good, everything is integrated so well that it makes it extreamly easy to use. it is also endlessly configurable, and extreamly easy to do so. i probably would use kde more if i hadnt had so many problems with it. but all in all i feel it is a great desktop and has an excelent community and choice of software
.
nice. thx
Why not?
Free, and great material. Why not?
kde is easy to get used to
getting used to the look and feel is easy
!
free is good.
Re: KDE looks like Windows? So what?
Besides the menu, you can change the behavior and look of KDE3 easily even be changed. As far as GNOME, I used it to begin with but you have to use alot of KDE proggies and has more restriction on what you can change.

I happen to like my ghetto computer. And if you want to run KDE as a window manager that’s fine with me. But before you start making comments as to why people run blackbox I would suggest that your read this fine gem of a book "Design of the Unix Operating System" by Marice J. Bach. Then you may start to understand why people don't like “all in one software” (KDE, GNOME...). If you want integrated software then maybe another platform whose name I won't mention would better suit you.
Simply the most powerful. the most advanced and very beautiful desktop environment. I also like it how much customizable it all is.
