What To Expect In KDE 4.1

andrewmin writes "Recently, Gnome's been gaining a lot of ground on its KDE counterpart in the desktop environment wars. The KDE developers were hoping to change this with KDE 4, the new radical release of KDE, but it was not to be. KDE 4.0 was buggy and unstable, leaving everyone except the hard-core KDE lovers. Mainly, this was because it just didn't work most of the time. However, the developers were not without hope. They promised that KDE 4.1 would be more stable and fix all the holes and problems with KDE 4.0. That time is coming soon: in just four days, K Desktop Environment 4.1 will be released to the Linux masses." A release candidate for 4.1 came out just over a week ago, with binaries available "for some Linux distributions, and Mac OS X and Windows."

Shouldn't that read...

OTOH, people that configure their Apache usually don't use Ubuntu. You don't belong their target market.
Disclaimer: I never really used Ubuntu, except on a LiveCD, but that's the impression I got from interacting with Ubuntu users.

You are fucking joking, of course right? I mean, your post will be modded funny, right?

That's poetry. It means that when you mention KDE 4.0 everyone leaves except the hard-core KDE lovers. Come to think of it, I use KDE and I'd rather leave than witness hard-core KDE love.

It's the first version of the article. It's only a for developers. You need to wait for the version 1.1 release to get the fully functional one.

so if 5.0 is released on time, 4.0 will be unsupported in September 2009.

Thee hee hee... Thanks for the laugh.

As the saying goes: "Debian, yesterday's technology, delivered tomorrow"

"if 5.0 is released on time" hee hee, good one.

Have your mother check her recipe... I'm pretty sure flatulence after meatloaf shouldn't be that bad.

Polishing the knob huh?
No wonder the developers didn't finish everything in time for 4.0!

(Sorry - that one got me. Google it if needed)
