I've been using KDE for a long time, for reasons that are no longer |
2 |
important to me. I have remained out of pure inertia. |
3 |
I use gnome happily at work, both on Fedora and Ubuntu. All I need from any |
4 |
of them is a panel with some favorites, and a pager for multiple desktops. |
5 |
I spend most of my time in vim, in the C program and documentation |
6 |
toolchains or in a browser. |

8 |
The reason I bring this up is that my account just froze on me from running |
9 |
out of disk space. A little research showed that an odd-sounding thing |
10 |
called nepomuk was using 7.2 G (SEVEN GIGS) in some dotfiles. It turns out |
11 |
to be a KDE client - whatever that is. I've got a lot of space here and |
12 |
there, but my /home partition was never near full before. |
13 |
|
14 |
I'd like to just nuke nepomuk, but fear the consequences. I'm seriously |
15 |
entertaining ideas about a more efficient way to run my Gentoo system, |
16 |
although I'll probably keep kdelibs because I like a few of their games. |
17 |
Similarly for gnome. But I wonder what I should do about the rest. |

Ideas? |
