But on the previous link it says: "there is currently no set date or estimated date for E19. My only goal with regard to time is to release before July 2023, though I may be forced to delay until September 2026 depending on celestial alignments.".. but in reality it seem to be expected in this year, e17 and e18 was released in December the last two years, so no 10+ years in-between those releases.
My low-end picks would be Razor-Qt (supposedly becoming LXDE-Qt but when?) and Enlightenment.
I don't agree with how user interfaces are designed in KDE.. Like.. by a lot =P, both in regard of some eye-candy and just how the applications and their different parts look.
The integration I feel so-so about. I appreciate the attempt and that it exist but it's rather demanding and when some applications goes their own way with their own databases and such it screws it all up a little. Also as for tagging files and such I would want all my such meta-data to be saved with the files or something so it would always travel with me / the files and not just be wasted the next time I did anything with my files or installation.
I appreciate the number of options one have using GTK software instead because say you're looking for a decent music or multimedia player then you'll have way more decent options with GTK. Maybe fewer of those follow a common set of design ideas but I assume that's for Gnome applications to do. I don't know what Gnome is shooting for.
In general I'm not scared at all by applications having their own custom look but I guess familiarity helps. I just don't agree with the design decisions which has been done with KDE (I dislike the ugly tool bars, I dislike vertical tabs with 90 degree rotated text, I feel so-so about tree-views, I have no need to be able to pull apart my windows into separate components.)
I think he was about "Mate and Cinnamon is popular" or something such (I haven't read the crap.)
Almost all default desktops on the popular Linux distributions was Gnome ones and since Unity and Gnome 3 took a small "towards touch-screens approach" and some people wasn't ready for that and hence opted for what they was used to and some distributions made the choice for them and became popular and hence people who start using them end up with whatever is the default there he kinda have a small point but to me a "classic" X desktop would be something much more basic and I doubt everyone will switch into that direction.
Imho people have always been slow with adjusting to the new, doesn't mean it's worse, also for me personally what I'm longing for is a huge touch surface/table/whatever for games and whatever.
Touch aware interfaces will of course have their place in the future.
Slashdot Mirror
Let Acid Burn run it.
News flash:
Slashdoters finds even car tail lights blindingly bright.
Worked just fine for Opera! .. or didn't it?
I don't really care, yeah, it's an early release, people who want a stable desktop maybe shouldn't use it.
It just recently went into feature freeze, so I guess it's "done" as far as deciding what will go in at least:

Here it says mystery release 2k14:

e17 took a very long time.
e18 didn't
e19 likely won't.
How did you got here?
I can see how that's a problem for U.S. subscribers.
They aren't spying and censoring the information.
They are just making a search engine and present the information which fit your profile.
Seriously.
They run Slashdot.
Yet they still haven't figured out we don't even read the summaries.
Slashdot is all about getting others opinions, wider and more information.
How to make a better beta:
1) Add unicode support to Slashdot.
I'm sorry Dice, but you don't make Slashdot great - we do!
Actually I make it worse.
Hum.
Beta is green now.
Have they changed the look?
Now I'll switch.
..
This and that group did it.. trust us!
you insensitive clod!

Where is it?
All I could see was the ugly design and I sure left it before I noticed any functionality.
So make a style sheet which changes it.
And there's a challenge for someone. Build something which fix the ugly which is the new beta.
That's super ugly. I should submit a story about how super ugly the new design is.
Why do the redesign.
The new web page looks like shit.
I don't need more shitty news, but I guess I can take that.
But it's nowhere near as clear as the old one. The design of Slashdot is very clear and obviously feel very much at home for many of us.

What about combining many sharks into one?

One reason for doing so would be that you're running KDE on a tablet.
Another one could be that you're running it with a touch monitor. Either at home or say presentation kiosk somewhere.
A third alternative because you like the clean look of it.
A fourth could be that you decided to develop it because it could be done using Plasma and you're checking it out.
A fifth that you by accident / curiosity clicked the Activities widget and picked it.
And so on.
Lots of reasons. I'm totally fine with such an option existing and I think it works well.
