KDE 4.10 has been released.

  • Moving the workspace/Plasma to Qt Quick was an excellent choice.

    BTW I love the PicMi game included in KDE Games!

  • I used to love KDE, but they lost me and all the other users where I worked when they stopped supporting NFS home directories. Kmail was one of KDE's greatest assets, and now we are stuck with thunderbird on XFCE.

    KDE claimed to be "Enterprise Ready" once ( http://www.kde.org/announcements/announce-2.2.php ), but silently went back on that when they forced the usage of the terrible akonadi and nepomuk with even the most basic components. I don't know of an enterprise setup that doesn't have NFS home directories by default, so I guess KDE is no longer ready for the enterprise?

  • Those of you on fedora can get the latest by adding the kde-redhat repo here: http://kde-redhat.sourceforge.net/ You'll need to temporarily enable fedora-updates-testing and upgrade systemd before upgrading the kde packages (at least on F18), but otherwise it's been stable for me.

    No clue what state that's in, but I believe you can get it in ubuntu 12.10 at https://launchpad.net/kubuntu-ppa

  • So I just installed KDE 4.10, plugged my HDMI cable to watch some series and - TA-DA! - it is finally recognizing AND adjusting the screens in the right resolution without my assistence! It still asks me if I want to do it, which is great, but it actually set up the resolutions exactly right (opposed to gnome3, which messed up the resolutions completely). Great stuff!

  • Nepomuk, Strigi, Soprano and Akonadi caused my desktop to hang.. and I'm not the only one with such problems (http://forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=98468)

    Does anyone know if there is a stripped down/leaner version of KDE that's just a bare operating system ?

  • Yay more KDE!!!

    I only wish making a startup had meant I would have my computer nearby instead of only Android devices...

    Can I get KDE into Android???

    No?

    Well, I have then to somehow get sufficient money to rent my own place, so I can bring my own computer, and finally update my Fedora 12.

  • I'll have to give it a try today!

  • I am wondering why team publishing such noisy screenshots. It's pure acid.

  • Why didn't they just jump to KDE 5? KDE 4.10 is a confusing name, because in standard decimal format it would look like KDE 4.1...

    This looks very nice. KDE is the most polished desktop environment currently out there for Linux/BSD/illumos, and the 4.10 release seems to be the one that's finally caught up with OS X in terms of fit and finish. I would download it, if only I had a computer fast enough to run it...

    Stuck with a 1.6GHZ dual-thread Atom desktop with 1GB of RAM and an ancient integrated graphics chip. Xfce is the only full desktop environment I can run with minimal performance impact. Guess it's time to upgrade to either the iMac or the XPS One.
