Subject: Re: Idea for smooth migration to KDE 4
To: Magnus Berg <debianmailinglistspam@burgsvik.se>


Hi,
I directly installed KDE4 and now I'm using it for some weeks and I could see that it's more stable than KDE3. It's true that some apps they aren't, but it's not a problem.

In this moment I don't have KDE3 and I think like Magnus, it's the best.


Bye

I jumped on the KDE4 train a week ago and I must say that KDE4 is ready for

daily use. I used KDE a quite long time some years ago but leave it for XFCE4

because KDE3.x was slow. But KDE4 respond faster than XFCE4 and I like it that

much that I installed a new Debian Sid system with only KDE4 (plus Gimp and

its dependencies). Konqueror is a little buggy which make it quite useless on

some sites, therefor I had Iceweasel installed to.



KDE4 work great for me and the only serious drawback can be if you need some

of the applications that is not KDE4 ready yet. But I can live without them...

I found a few more applications in the Kubuntu repository and some plasmoids

at kde-looks.



KDE4 is definite a milestone in the Linux-world! It's great!
