I would like your opinions please on whether you think I should install Debian 7 with KDE. From what I've seen of Debian 7 it is much like Kubuntu 12.04.

Edit: Sorry...but, I'm tired of crashes.... especially, with firefox. Also, why is kmixer (KDE's version of Pulseaudio - the appearance and settings/controls) so inferior? I don't have the same convenience and the sound always seems so much quieter despite what level the volume is at. I'm just tired of it.Last edited by kdeputer; Jul 29, 2013, 01:15 AM.

About KDE
KDE is getting worse all the time and sound problems are abundant. I booted up my Debian w/ LXDE and sound is working fine and settings/controls all okay. Kubuntu, I also have crashes. KDE is getting too bloated.
At here - I get what I want - that is: I can pick small KDE or big KDE desktop.
About sound
Also, why is kmixer (KDE's version of Pulseaudio - the appearance and settings/controls) so inferior? I don't have the same convenience and the sound always seems so much quieter despite what level the volume is at...
With the KDE/KMIx you could enable or disable things.
It you have the MPris /3/ capable media players:
If you want more sliders:
The KMix is a the default mixer but you don't have to use it - other options:

pavucontrol - http://freedesktop.org/software/pulseaudio/pavucontrol/

Hi NickStoneFan
There is a thread buried somewhere down in the dungeons about the experience that I had when I installed Debian, and then added KDE over it.
That was way back when, but I really didn't see much difference, however, I did have to set new repos for some items.
The "interface experience" however, for me was what I called.....don't know......."harsh looking". It was, kind of "glassy, brittle"..."looking"...
When I commented thereupon I was very bruskly told that KDE is KDE is KDE ....
It was exactly the same gui, theme, etc. but, still i guess it might have been the "effect" of the video drivers...don't know.
I ran it for maybe a month and didn't see any stability problems, etc.
However, that was several years ago so that may have changed.

Kubuntu on smart phone
I have both Kubuntu and Debian / KDE.
What I dream about is Kubuntu on smartphones and tablets. It's probably more likely to happen with Ubuntu than Debian.
UbuntuGuide/KubuntuGuide
Right now the killer is being surrounded by a web of deduction, forensic science,
and the latest in technology such as two-way radios and e-mail.

Thanks Woody for your insight in to Debian. I've been using Debian 7 with KDE 4.8.4 for a few days now and overall it is quite stable, however, they only problem I've experienced so far is when using Kmail to set up my email account with myopera and for some reason it causes it to freeze. Every thing else is working fine. I don't have a problem with X11 (graphics) as I only have a bog standard intel graphics chip and the generic graphics drivers available usually work without problems on my aging Dell Optiplex pc.
Perspectoff: I don't give a [CENSORED] about "smart phone" or tablets I'm a proper computer geek who loves playing with laptops / desktops so I don't care about Canonical and its development of their mobile devices.
