What To Expect In KDE 4.1

andrewmin writes "Recently, Gnome's been gaining a lot of ground on its KDE counterpart in the desktop environment wars. The KDE developers were hoping to change this with KDE 4, the new radical release of KDE, but it was not to be. KDE 4.0 was buggy and unstable, leaving everyone except the hard-core KDE lovers. Mainly, this was because it just didn't work most of the time. However, the developers were not without hope. They promised that KDE 4.1 would be more stable and fix all the holes and problems with KDE 4.0. That time is coming soon: in just four days, K Desktop Environment 4.1 will be released to the Linux masses." A release candidate for 4.1 came out just over a week ago, with binaries available "for some Linux distributions, and Mac OS X and Windows."

    * Some things are fixed/added
    * An equal number of things are broken to keep a perfect balance
    * KD devs will hang out as ACs flaming everyone and be in general a bunch of miserable pricks
    * Sites like http://linuxhaters.blogspot.com/ will continue to mock the sorry state of desktop Linux
    * A variety of completely pointless Gnome vs KDE threads will pop up
    * Desktop Linux continues to flounder
    * Some poor sod has to go inc the 'XXXX is the year of desktop Linux' counter

    That sounds like more of an issue with your shitty driver than with KDE. Why should FOSS projects have to be restricted in what they can do because some people insist on hardware with poor support?
