KDE 3.0 Beta 2 is out

Posted by HeUnique on Wednesday February 13, 2002 @07:45AM from the looks-pretty-good dept.

Subject says all - the next beta of KDE 3.0 is out, after a short delay. You can find the downloads at this announcement. Click below to read more details about this version. One of the most important things that the Konqueror teams wants from people are test cases of your regulary visited pages, where Konqueror either fails to render or render things incorrectly, and submit it using KDE's Bug Tracking system. URL's will not be helpful as it takes lots of time to strip a page from all the HTML code in order to find the actual problematic part of the web page.

Just to save the search for some people: Mandrake, SuSE, Slackware and Tru-64 binary packages are available now. Others will be available soon. Source code is of course available also.

trolltech's QT by gol64738 · 2002-02-13 10:25 · Score: 0, Troll

not a troll here. just read a little more.
i never liked kde 1. when kde 2 came out, i was very impressed. but after using it for 2 months, i've gone back to ximian gnome.

you know what? it's not kde that is blah, it is QT that makes kde blah. kde is a very well put together framework of a desktop, but building it on top of QT just ruined it.

this reminds me of the amiga days. i found it hard to go from the soft, warm looking amiga desktop to the cold, filmy ibm win 3.1 desktop.

i also find it hard to go from a colorful, crispy gnome desktop to a boring, blah kde desktop (i know about kde-look.org, been there, downloaded all kinds of icons, brackgrounds, etc.)

BUT IT'S NOT KDE THAT IS MY PROBLEM, IT IS QT!

qt, well, just sucks.
