Screenshot About:
KDE is a powerful graphical desktop environment for Unix workstations. It combines ease of use, contemporary functionality and outstanding graphical design with the technological superiority of the Unix operating system. KDE is a completely new desktop, incorporating a large suite of applications for Unix workstations. While KDE includes a window manager, file manager, panel, control center and many other components that one would expect to be part of a contemporary desktop environment, the true strength of this exceptional environment lies in the interoperability of its components.

[»] great desktop shell but..
by James Pike - Jul 28th 2005 09:32:54

I've switched backwards and forwards between KDE and enlightenment/fluxbox for a long time now. KDE is a wonderful project and I think it's second to none in terms of features and integration.

I hope that the 3.4.2 release provides an experience that is not as bug ridden as the 3.4.1 release. I have considered every release of KDE so far to be too frustrating to be able to use for any length of time due to constant program crashes and glitches.

[»] Awesome desktop
by Kilroy - Oct 4th 2004 19:54:47

I usualy swap between kde and fluxbox. I use kde if i want to show off my system, and i use flux all the rest of the time. kde is good, everything is integrated so well that it makes it extreamly easy to use. it is also endlessly configurable, and extreamly easy to do so. i probably would use kde more if i hadnt had so many problems with it. but all in all i feel it is a great desktop and has an excelent community and choice of software

    I happen to like my ghetto computer. And if you want to run KDE as a window manager that’s fine with me. But before you start making comments as to why people run blackbox I would suggest that your read this fine gem of a book "Design of the Unix Operating System" by Marice J. Bach. Then you may start to understand why people don't like “all in one software” (KDE, GNOME...). If you want integrated software then maybe another platform whose name I won't mention would better suit you.

[»] KDE ist the best!
by Cinek - Aug 14th 2001 15:04:13

I have installed it everywhere! At work, at home (Intel,Sparc; Linux, FreeBSD,Solaris) now I feel really good and finally I can work properly. I simply love it and I am happy about the wide support.

My favourite application is konqueror.

And to you guys, here, quit whinning about the blockheads who are against KDE. I noticed that most of them only tried some 0.9-beta stuff. And... shhh... don't tell them that it's good now. It will be our secret... Hehehehe...

[»] KDE looks like Windows? So what?
by Bjørn Langfors - Jun 9th 1999 09:42:43

I really don't get this.

Just because KDE looks alot like Windows 9x, many of you geeks automatically hates it. Why?

Don't get me wrong, I am too sick and tired of Windows 9x, and is today very pleased with KDE on my Linux box, but I really don't get it when many of you with GNOME or just console despise KDE, just because it looks like Windows 9x. What kind of argument is that? It does _not_ function like Windows 9x, and it looks nice. That's the reasons (I guess) why people use it.

Winblows isn't ugly. Too bad it sucks.

Ps.: Hey, don't you think it's even more humiliating for Microsoft to to watch a non-profit organization make a desktop environment so like Windows 9x and still so much better, than just an OS? ;p

Pps.: Isn't Qt opensource now?

    How bout some damn patches??? I have src from 2.0.1 ... and I *don't* want to spend all day downloading on my dialup. A few meg in patches works for me... and probly just about everyone else who knows how to apply one. I can't afford the time to download close to 60MB.

    Besides the menu, you can change the behavior and look of KDE3 easily even be changed. As far as GNOME, I used it to begin with but you have to use alot of KDE proggies and has more restriction on what you can change.

[»] KDE is great !!
by Ryan Daniels - Apr 19th 1999 02:57:58

I'd like to take the time to thank all the developers of KDE and all the KDE Apps. KDE is one of the greatest things to ever happen to Linux. My computer wouldn't be the same without it.

[»] FUD and lies about KDE
by Ashraf Kamal - Apr 18th 1999 10:17:02

I'm a KDE user,I hate windows( no personal reasons) and i've downloaded and used GNOME. Now I have both KDE and GNOME on my box the two are great but for now KDE is more stable,usable and feature rich than GNOME. I hope people will stop attacking KDE how would you feel if you did a lot of work and give it for free just to see pepole attacking you?. both KDE and GNOME and any other GUI projects are cornerstones for linux widespread.Love is sharing if you like Linux share it with others let them know how good it is and thank both the KDE and GNOME teams for the hard work they've done!

    by integr8er - Mar 29th 2001 13:00:09

    First off, I've been doing computers for almost 25 years now and my base model for comparison is NOT the Windows model (which sucks!). For those of you that use this as the basis for comparison - well - too bad for you - someday you'll know better - experience still counts a lot.

    My base model is basically CDE - the commercial (stagnant) X environment that is supplied with most commercial Unixs. Compared to this, KDE is totally TOP-NOTCH. When I log into a GNOME environment, I find a number of nice things, but something makes me feel sort of like this is the kids environment - NO FLAMES PLEASE - I'll readily admit that I do not use Gnome enough to make a very qualified comment, I acknowledge the many very sharp people that work in this space and so on, but for KDE, I find it presents a much more professional feeling and usable environment. If you ever use xterms with CDE, just the act of resizing the window presents a pain in the *ss.

    As far as I am concerned, KDE is again TOP-NOTCH and those people deserve the best of recognition. My only problem is that I only have time to implement the commercial distributions (DISTRO's is a childish and non-professional term - drop it! - keep Linux and all aspects at a professional level to move it forward - Please!), so I do not have the latest version available to me and to download is all too much (sigh). So I wait, but what I have I KNOW is good stuff.

    You KDE developers, keep up the excellent work!!
