Bring 3.5 back, at least as an option.

Linus hates KDE 4, too

Yes he does, because reading whole articles instead of just the sensationalist titles is both old fashioned and overrated.

Why do you care...didn't you just move all your 8 boxes to gentoo?

Good luck with the trolling.

Linus isn't using my computer. I bet he'd hate my wallpaper, too.

Priceless!

Re: Linus hates KDE 4, too.

From (as they say) TFA:

I got the update through Fedora, and there was a mismatch from KDE 3 to KDE 4.0. The desktop was not as functional, and it was just a bad experience for me. I'll revisit it when I reinstall the next machine, which tends to be every six to eight months.

So what he's actually saying is pretty much what everyone else is saying: 4.0 wasn't a particularly usable release, but it's probably going to get better in future incremental releases.

Brilliant!

Re: Linus hates KDE 4, too.

Well I must say I also mad the switch for Kubuntu to Ubuntu about a month ago. I love Kubuntu, but got tired of all the messing around I was doing. I will have a go at the next release of Kubuntu later this year, but for now I am using Ubuntu.

I know I was not a fan from the first release of 8.10 but kept giving it a go. I updated to the 4.2 beta and was happy for a little while then thing just got harder. This in no way is a bash, but a preference. I wanted to spend more time on my other hobbies and lest time keeping Kubuntu running.

So I can see why he switched, if it was for the bug, and not the look and feel. I do hope it keeps getting better, as I do like it more than Ubunut. For now every thing I want to do it done if far less time under Ubuntu than it was under Kubuntu.

Well I too switched to gnome when trying Intrepid back in September. It lasted for a week, before I finally came to my senses

Been very comfortable with kde4 since then.

Re: Linus hates KDE 4, too.

To point out the obvious (again), while KDE is being perfected, 8.04 is still free and rock solid. That's what I use, although I had no problems with 8.10 (until I accidentally deleted it--a long stupid story--and haven't yet re-installed it).

A little rocket surgery goes a long ways.

Re: Linus hates KDE 4, too.

I don't disagree with anyything Linus said about KDE 4.0, or the way it was handled, but I'm loving KDE 4.2.

Re: Linus hates KDE 4, too.

Sometimes this 6-month-period they have to release a new version of their GUI / OS is a real mistake, they wouldn't have scared anyone, especially people like Linus, if they waited for another month or 2 in order to release a more stable version (it could have been KDE 4.1 not 4.0) and some of this people would still continue "supporting" KDE and Kubuntu (or any other KDE based OS).

I know it was a risk they had to take, but com'on people, they should have been more careful, the first impression is something so important for people nowadays that you can't just forget about it... Why would someone get a brand new bike without a seat or a wheel? The bike itself might not be perfect, but if it at least complies to the minimum specs, no one would ever get disappointed, no one would complain this much.

I must admit I took the risk to install the KDE 4.0 when I still had Hardy installed on my system and I didn't like it. Even so I was hoping Intrepid with the 4.1 would be much better and in some way it's better, not as much as I initially expected, but still a better (and slower...) GUI. I really hope the stable version of the KDE 4.2 will make me feel much better, much more comfortable.
