UserLinux May Go Without KDE

Posted by michael on from the can't-have-any-pudding dept.

Anonymous BillyGoat writes "For the past few days, there has been considerable debate at the UserLinux mailing list about the (proposed) non-inclusion of KDE in the distro. The KDE developers have written a proposal opposing the decision to go with GNOME as the sole UserLinux GUI, while Bruce Perens has posted a response."

  1. KDE is based on Qt by jotaeleemeese · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    And Qt is made by Trolltech.

    And Trolltech is part of the Canopy Group.

    Which pulls SCO strings.

    Do we need the threat of more lawsuits in the future?

    Perens and his cohorts are applying the rules of communist economics to this projects requirements. How many of the end users they hope for are participating in this requirements and design phase?
    Why even bother calling it USER Linx?

    They should take a look at how a good project involves it's target users. http://www.intellij.net

    I use KDE all day, every day, for my job. I see no crashes. Ever.

    Why don't you go make up lies about my mother, while you are at it?

    Garbage the reason why Debain refused KDE is because RMS and other fanatics claimed QT which KDE is based on is not free enough.... even though it was opensourced and free as in beer.

    Many pharisee's still view KDE as an invitation to legality in the enterprise since Troll tech just might make their toolkit non gpl.

    Everything has been cleared now but there are still some freaks out there.
