A Quick Look At KDE SC 4.5 Beta 1

Posted by timothy on from the delicious-candy dept.

dmbkiwi writes "The latest in the 4.x series of the KDE Software Compilation is due to be released in early August 2010. With the first beta of this release recently unleashed, I thought I'd download the openSuse packages and see what 4.5's got in store for us."

  1. Please tell me its better. by B5_geek · · Score: -1, Redundant

    I always install the kde 3.5 libs so that I can have Konqueror (as a file manager) and Amarok as my music player. I have dearly wanted to upgrade my system but I can't because the v4.x branch of KDE has been so painful. (thank god for Debian and its glacial release schedule)

    Somebody, anybody tell me when Kde is back to being as good as it was. I am not a programmer, I will take your word that the old tree was unmaintainable, and that a 'new direction' was needed. But how long until we get back to the stability/feature set we loved so long ago?
