Chris takes a quick drive through the new KDE 4.2.2 running on Ubuntu 9.04. This video was streamed live this weekend over at: http://www.jupiterbroadcasting.com/live Distributed by Tubemogul.
i have a problem to. i setup my display for 1024x768 and saved everything. so when i shut down and go back later to turn on it boots but thescreen resolution is to high for my monitor. after it boots up the right side of screen flickers and overlaps. i change screen resolution back to 1024x768 then everything is fine till i shut down and start back up later and same thing happens. any ideas?
is there a way to go from kde to gnome instead? i installed kubuntu with kde. i hate the interface, is there a way to use gnome so i do not have to reinstall linux?
If you plan on reviewing KDE 4.3, please use openSUSE instead of Kubuntu.
Kubuntu feels rather unpolished while openSUSE provides a very polished KDE version, Firefox for example uses Dolphin and the notification system instead of Nautilus and its own download popups.
If you install the proprietary drivers KWIN is capable of some mighty fancy effects as well.
In particular ctrl+f8 and ctrl+f9 do some nice things ;)
dose it still got k star in KDE i rembe back when i used mandark i had a program were i cude go and checke alot of stuff in a programm calld kstar and checke pic and stuff in space :)
So the only thing u have to say that is bad it that it wastes space, and its hard to use. Sounds to me like a pretty kick ass desktop environment. Every UI is different. For me, the Mac UI is hard since I have used Windows all my life. Gnome has a feel similar to Windows and that is why I liked it so much, as I went on i now find myself wanting more advanced features that Gnome cannot deliver. KDE is just what I am looking for, I think.
KDE 3 was fine. They should have extended it.
Anyway, I am back to Fluxbox and XFCE.
KDE4 and GNOME3 can kiss my ass. Arrogant Developers who ignore users are assholes.

KDE 4 is not unpolished, it is wrong.
It's actually impressively over polished yet in trying to handhold you so much it feels inflexible and restrictive.
KDE 4 is like, "My way or the highway".
