KDE's future: Plasma & SimpleKDE

Posted by Hemos on from the the-evolving-world dept.

A reader writes: "KDE continues to grow. Early screenshots, mockups, and developer blogs show that the new Plasma Project (KDE 4.x branch) will bring innovative approaches to desktop computing. On the other hand, the very first screenshots of SimpleKDE, an unofficial fork of KDE, were meant to be a response to those who criticise KDE as being overbloated."

    Since when was Windows female? (though that would explain a lot, now that I think about it....)

    You linux fanboys might call this stuff "innovative" but bloaty software turning our computer into an unresponsive slag of plasma in front of our eyes is tried and true for those of us that use Windows. With Microsoft, this is the quality we expect.

    Is that why most major Linux distros are using GNOME by default nowadays? Oh wait.. they're using KDE. My bad.
