  1. Dedicated to: by Ancantus · · Score: 4, Interesting

    It isn't mentioned in the summery, but:

    The 4.6.3 release is dedicated in memory of the young daughter of KDE developer Daniel Nicoletti who tragically passed away after a car crash last month. The KDE community wishes to express their deepest sympathy and support to Daniel and his family in this difficult time.

    Kinda nice, I am not to familiar with the KDE release cycles, do they dedicate every release?

  2. KDE is really good now.. by kvvbassboy · · Score: 5, Interesting

    KDE has improved *greatly* since its 4.4.x days. It is a lot snappier, less buggy and doesn't clutter up your desktop like it used to. With the rapid changes in various desktops, I tried working with the Gnome shell, Unity and KDE on my laptop, and found that KDE is the only one out of these which doesn't get in my way.

    It definitely will not run on older computers, but it runs great on my 3 year old laptop with intel built in graphics chipset and 4 GB ram. I highly recommend KDE to someone who wants to upgrade from gnome 2.32 but doesn't like gnome shell or unity.

    PS: I still run Gnome 2 on my desktop. IMO, it's the most efficient in terms of resources:features.

    Is it a lot better than v3.5.10?
