KDE Developer Quits

"Recently though several KDE developers came right out and asked, 'Does KDE even need (certain) users?' While, Troy Unrau, a KDE developer and perhaps best known as the author of stories for KDE News, opened this can of worm by saying 'This is a rant,' it was soon taken in earnest. Unrau's opinion was quickly seconded by another KDE developer, Jason Harris, who said, 'KDE, like many other open-source projects, doesn't really need users at all, whether they are poisonous or not.' Instead, both Unrau and Harris wanted to see KDE get more developers..."

KDE 4.1 Beta 1 Released

appelza contributed a link to Tuesday's announcement of the next step toward KDE 4.1: "The KDE Project is proud to announce the first beta release of KDE 4.1. Beta 1 is aimed at testers, community members and enthusiasts in order to identify bugs and regressions, so that 4.1 can fully replace KDE 3 for end users. KDE 4.1 beta 1 is available as binary packages for a wide range of platforms, and as source packages. KDE 4.1 is due for final release in July 2008." I haven't used KDE much for the past few years, but the screenshots of a "grown-up" plasma are enough to make me correct that.

Invigorating GNOME

"There has been some discussion recently about the future of GNOME. I have seen this blogged on Planet GNOME, on the LugRadio Forums, discussed in corridors and elsewhere. Although I am an ardent supporter and fanboy around GNOME, and I love the desktop for its simplicity and elegance… GNOME has become the software equivalent of my dad's comfortable trousers--predictable and reliable, but has ceased to be exciting and innovative in new, innovative, visual, inspirational ways. I accept this metaphor only partially applies to the aforementioned father's trousers. This is not to say that GNOME is not innovating-- GNOME is filled to the brim with tiny little niceties, but it seems that the time for tiny little niceties needs to give way to a new, exciting vision that takes into account the changes since GNOME 2.

KDE 4.1 beta 1 'Caramel' released

KDE has announced that the first beta of KDE 4.1 has been released for public testing. The KDE 4.1 beta, code-named Caramel, is meant to reintroduce many of the features that was first intended for KDE4, but didn't make the final cut for KDE 4.0. The most noticeable being an updated and more mature Plasma desktop shell, with both an updated look and feel, including a new range of widgets. KDE PIM makes a return, which includes the much anticipated return of

KDE 4.1 Alpha1 released

When the KDE project announced KDE 4.0, it was pretty clear that this was just first and far from complete version of KDE4. Instead, lots of features would be added with each new version. KDE has now announced the first Alpha of KDE 4.1, the final version is slated for late July. KDE 4.1 is based on

GNOME in the Age of Decadence

IconThe KDE project saw the writing on the wall. They saw that they had reached a certain limit when it came to what could be done with the KDE 3.x series - they named it the "big friggin' wall", and decided that in order to get over that wall, incremental updates wouldn't do - they needed massive changes, a big jump, and they went for it. It's been a rough road, but it seems as if KDE 4.1 is showing signs of the vision becoming a reality. And it now seems as if several people within the GNOME community are seeing the writing on the wall too: GNOME 2.x has reached its goal - now what?

KDE vs. GNOME: A Screed from a Supposed Corporate Flack

"Ok, so you know that currently SLED (SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop) 10 defaults to GNOME as the desktop, a move that garnered comments from a few cranky folks in the KDE [KC]amp. This move is more easily understood when you realize that most corporations really needed to have a default, that way they didn't have to stall their testing to make a decision about what Linux Desktop standard they would support. openSUSE 11.0 doesn't force such a choice, you have several options, none is selected by default, it's like being in line at Starbucks and having to decide if you want a twist of lemon in your half-caf, double-decaf..."

KDE 4.1 Beta 1 Released

IconKDE 4.0 was released to mixed reviews; more or less everyone recognised the enormous potential of the still young platform, but some doubted whether or not the KDE project had made the right choice by releasing KDE 4.0 as, well, 4.0. The KDE developers were clear: just you wait for KDE 4.1. They released the first beta of KDE 4.1 today.

The critics are wrong: KDE 4 doesn't need a fork

After the recent release KDE 4.1 beta 2 and openSUSE 11 with KDE 4.0.4, some critics have been especially vocal in expressing their displeasure with the KDE 4 user interface paradigms. The debate has grown increasingly caustic as critics and supporters engage in a war of words over the technology. The controversy has escalated to the point where some users are now advocating a fork in order to move forward the old KDE 3.5 UI paradigms. As an observer who has closely studied each new release of KDE 4, I'm convinced that the fork rhetoric is an absurdly unproductive direction for this debate.

First look: OpenSUSE 11 out, offers best KDE 4 experience (ars technica)

This is a very strong OpenSUSE release with a lot of compelling improvements. OpenSUSE 11 offers the best KDE 4 experience out there and will continue to be our reference distribution for KDE testing. OpenSUSE 11 is also an increasingly solid choice for GNOME users—its unique GNOME customizations add a nice level of polish, and the inclusion of Banshee and Beagle ensure that it provides a better set of default applications out of the box than Ubuntu and Fedora.
