Dell actually sells netbooks with Ubuntu installed. They don't do much to promote them, though, and the hardware's on the lower end of the scale.
I DO wish more manufacturers would try selling PCs with K/Ubnutu installed, and with better hardware; yet still at a low price. They could easily chop off $50 to $100+ just by using Linux instead of Windows.
In the future this will probably be my next desktop manager. Because I've tested GNOME 3, and if it will become that impracticable as it looks now then I'm abandoning ship! Or maybe I'll stick with GNOME 2.x for a while, I'm not sure... At least KDE 4.x looks great!
i am trying kubuntu after a long time with ubuntu and i have to say i love it. But there s one thing that i really have is the kwin composite affects are really slow and not highly configurable
KDE as an environment is very very very nice. Not as fundamentalist as MacOS default and not as clunky and unsophisticated as Windows 7 default.
It's a gorgeous all-round interface system that is simple, natural and has a soul. I say it has soul because it's made by a community of people who care and are interested in this, not a corporation who wants sales to benefit only a few.
Well, im using kubuntu Karmic with kde 4.3.1 and so far the only thing that bugs out on me, is 64bit firefox with the 64bit flash plugin.
I sometimes get a popup telling me that kwin crashed and do i want to send a bug report, which is odd because kwin never crashed, or if it did, it crashed and restarted without me noticing.
I'll put the kwin one down to the alpha/beta status of karmic
Both are good and both are the efford of many people, efford you can't even imagine my friend, so you don't have the right to do what you did. It depends on the user and their preference to choose either one as their most suitable but because you prefer GNOME you can't shoot away KDE. After all that's the fun part, we have CHOICES! Enjoy
amazin. I used gnome for 2 years but I use KDE 4 days ago, I love it :) , it easier than gnome for me. I wait kubuntu 9.10. i my new laptop with nvidia because ATI sucks. I had 2 laptops with ATI, everything slow when I install its driver.
Actually some X11 extensions suck (GLX and DRI), not ATI (that much :) ). nVidia works perfectly because they have written their own, closed implementations of these modules. I think that the whole Linux graphics driver architecture is being re-written by Tungsten graphics. And Intel are re-writing their drivers. It's a bit messy at the moment. Correct me if I'm wrong.
Hmm....that's surprising. If Photoshop really uses Qt4 then there are no reasons not to port it natively to Linux. I've heard that Wine runs Photoshop just fine, but it's not the same thing. One of the most important things in Qt4 is portability. So why don't they do that? I would immediately buy a Linux Photoshop.
it's just becoming more and more mad to think this is open source, free software. If open source doesn't prove to be the way of the future, then we can't say it didn't deserve to!!
Blame recordmydesktop for the vid which although is of good quality and pretty sharp, it records max at 50 FPS while the actual working speed is 60 FPS.
This means 10 Frames are lost per second, no big difference but enough to make it look not as smooth as in reality :)

Great job on the vid. It showed off all of KDE's eye candy, flowed nicely, and had great quality. It even looked great in fullscreen.

ok very good but....where are programs for productivity? i mean autocad, photoshop and so on.
Gileantanis 2 years ago
You *know* that's not our fault. Oh btw, you do know Photoshop uses the same toolkit (qt4) to create their interface as KDE does, don't you?
So porting it should be pretty easy.

Hmm....that's surprising. If Photoshop really uses Qt4 then there are no reasons not to port it natively to Linux. I've heard that Wine runs Photoshop just fine, but it's not the same thing.

FinnCoder 2 years ago
In a designer's pcs you're going to find'em. There are a lot of designers that uses gnu/linux
So, for me photoshop is not for productivity...I need other things like networks management, programming, etc.
