KDE 3.5 was nice. KDE 4 is an abomination.

Every time I try using KDE it's a mess, stuff annoys me, and I want to punch the screen.

and starting everything with a K really pisses me off.


I have a soft spot for kdevelop though. Although there are better IDE's out there, it's just one of those applications I've gotten used to.

KDE is worthless.

Use GNOME or XFCE.  Succeed!

Those are my preferred desktops. I didn't like gnome originally, but like something you should get biopsied, it has grown on me.

Someone should license AmigaDOS and make an X Window manager which is as simple, elegant, intuitive, and resource-thrifty as AmigaDOS on (free)Unix. If it can be usable on a 7 MHz m68000, then it's doing something right.

I think I'll keep to Enlightenment as far as desktops go for linux.

Elive 2.0 is ok, though not nearly as good as I was hoping for. Using Lenny as a base is a bit pants imho. Especially if you want to do anything with IM's. `

I may well try out the E17 variant of PClinuxOS next.

I tried it, was not keen. But that's the beauty of linux, I guess; choice!

I might give AmiWM a try actually. It has screen dragging to reveal the various desktop workspaces :lol:
