Re: Kicking the KDE habit

I love kde... and would trade memory+cpu for feature richness any time (mem+cpu are meant to be used you see..)
what worries me is that KDE 4 is looking kinda sucky and most reviews about it are negative.
I hope that wont be what drives me to look for other DE's eventually...

Re: Kicking the KDE habit

KDE4 looks awesome, it's just that everyone wrongly though 4.0 was meant to be the big stable release. The potential KDE4 holds at the moment is huge, and with such a large effort going into writing stuff from the ground up, it's destined to look sucky for a while. Applications also need time to do their porting. Reviewers who say KDE4 is crap at the moment are probably right (in a usability perspective), but if they believe that it'll stay crap they are completely deluded.

Re: Kicking the KDE habit

GNOME cannot, under any circumstance, be using 200MB less memory than KDE, especially while running amarok and konversation! Unless you are running something really memory intensive with KDE that you don't run under GNOME.

Try looking at htop

The day Microsoft makes a product that doesn't suck, is the day they make a vacuum cleaner.
