i dont like KDE,is heavy

[weirdcast2]

se7en actually copied kde

[molbal]

@weirdcast2 Never mind, I like both systems :)

Just to let you know. KDE3 had tooltip previews in 2002 if you used Kasbar. It was not default but still click-able running task with previews.

[mgedier]

woww!!! thats great, but i dont know why, but i like gnome more than kde, i will wait for gnome 3 ;)

[MrPicklesworth]

Augh! In Win 7, clicking a window preview from the task bar bumps the window to the foreground. I think that is what users expect when a full-screen preview appears with the window In The Foreground.

What is the point of MINIMIZING when the user expresses interest in a specific window?

[JayandJenn07]

Well i did all that but when i rebooted, there was a kernel panic and wont boot... at all.

[vaasnaad]

Have you messed around with Arorae any?

[JayandJenn07]

Hey Gotbluetu, Is their any way i can get from Ubuntu 9.10 gnome and activate KDE Kubuntu 9.10 or do i have to start over with a new install?

[stmpoodle]

Is Kubuntu currently your best choice distro? It looks cool.

[AlexAJG094]

yea KDE has improved alot man =)

[MikezJunk]

Sweet

And on windows 7 when you click it, It just opens the window.

[UbuntuHelpGuy]

Cool. great video dude

[motters2001]

I havn't used KDE for quite a few years, but it looks nice.

Too bad ATI and Intel GMA cards suck hard on linux.

I'm a laptop kind of guy and Linux is blowing me off at times, hope things will get better soon. KDE4 ftw anyway :)

[coolwaterdvr]

@DreadKnight666 I have an ATI card and it works flawlessly in single LCD monitor. But when I use my second monitor to extend my desktop, the desktop effects fails. I wish the linux community will have a solution soon.

nice cool vid

THANKS FOR THE GREAT VIDS IN 09 happy 2010

It doesn't work with multiple monitors at all, if you try it with 3 monitors for example, it will make the window immovable. I have to disable it to even use my desktop due to this.... (KDE sucks) Also, as for Aero Preview: Windows 7 does it in a different way, instead of already selecting the window when you highlight it in the little pane, it simply displays it and hides other windows.. You left click that little display to select it, or you can right click it and select minimize if you want.

[chubble101]

if KDE had the sort of funding that micro$hit as for their developers it wud be a different ball game. All of wat you said is pretty easy to fix .. and kde is at 4.4 right now.. when it reaches 4.5 i'm sure it will be extremely stable and work with multiple monitors.

[MicroHelper]

Now that's awesome! i've never knew that ! THANKS!!!

[CARSandBIKES9]

I'm on 7 atm and thinking of switching to Linux, only problem is im not sure it works with all my hardware.

[Kruste95]

unless you got any special hardware like very old things and some shit, drivers for the hardware will be installed automaticly, besides, you can try out a distribution without installing it, and you can install it along with windows too. just try it out.

[CARSandBIKES9]

ye i just formatted and no problems have occurred i am experienced with Linux so i got no problems dude 8)

[JamesManes]

@CARSandBIKES9 That sir, would be a bad move. If you are "going" to linux. Dual boot. Don't format right away. Or use Virtualbox.

[CARSandBIKES9]

lol your talking to me like i have no experience with Linux 8) i use to use it full time i know enough to be able to survive on it. If i need any windows programs my gaming machine should be able to handle windows XP or 7 in a virtual machine. If I don't like Kubuntu worsts comes to worsts i will just format my hd and put windows back on it, not that hard man. 8)

[JamesManes]

@CARSandBIKES9 Never said it was hard.

[CARSandBIKES9]

Yeah i know that lol im saying if i have any problems with Linux ill just reinstall windows..

[stmpoodle]

Glad to hear of your Linux experience CARSandBIKES. sometimes I get some folks eager to give their Windows DOS Boxes a final kick in the rear and I just say as a safety net hold onto it at least on a 20 GB partition because after all, they already paid for it. Then when they see themselves running Linux only and never booting into Windows. Then partition their whole drive to Linux. But yeah, You are more experienced than most. I subbed to you today. Please sub back. Thanks friend!

[PCAddictsLive]

cool.
