I'm not Duncan but I have 5 reasons not to switch to kde4 atm. |
| 7 |
|
| 8 |
1) Speed: I have a AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 4400+ with |
| 9 |
8GB of ram and a Radeon HD 3600 card but still kde 4.3 most of the time |
| 10 |
feels like walking through mud. |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
2) Crashes: kde 4.3 crashes way to often, sometimes it even brings X to |
| 13 |
its knees. Kde 3.5.10 is solid as a rock. |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
3) Screen-setup: I have to monitores connected to my pc static in xorg |
| 16 |
as two seperated displays :0.0 and :0.1. If I start kde <4.4-svn I have |
| 17 |
both screens on my main monitor and the second is just as good as dead. |
| 18 |
There is a patch for this in svn (or is it git now?) and as much as I |
| 19 |
can say by testing a few live-builds this point will be gone by next |
| 20 |
release. |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
4) Design: I have a very small design with two small bars at the bottom |
| 23 |
and on the right side. I can't create a design in kde4.x so far that |
| 24 |
consumes as few space on my monitor as i have it in kde 3. |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
The fifth point on my list is that many of the functions and (3rd party) |
| 27 |
kde programms I use day by day aren't there yet at all or only with lack |
| 28 |
of functions and mostly in late alpha-state: k3b, amarok, kdevelop, |
| 29 |
kvirc to just name a few. |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
The last reason I stick with kde 3.5.10 for a while is that working with |
| 32 |
kde 4.x just doesn't feel right. Switching to kde4 is like switching to |
| 33 |
a completly different DE. KDE 4 isn't kde anymore, it is something |
| 34 |
absolutly different that calls itself kde. |
