  6. Re:Is it any better? on KDE 4.8 Released · · Score: 1

    I did not like the design, usability, etc. I preferred v3.5.10's. For now, I am using old Gnome v2.3.

    It's not the bugs. It's the usability, design, etc. in v4.3. Did KDE v4.8 get much better in those areas?

    I used KDE v4.4.3 in stable Debian and didn't like it. I loved v3.x and v2.x, but v4 was bleh for me. I know about Trinity fork, but I am waiting for it to be mature, popular/official, and have a lot of support.

    I never got Netflix because I didn't like its subscription and don't watch many movies, TV/television shows/series, miniseries, documentaries, etc. However, I do like Amazon's on demand videos whenever I want to. I wished there were more services like this. Also, I wished there was downloadable videos that didn't cost more and limited time periods.

    I still use VGA, with DVI adapters, because of my KVMs from Y2K. Yes, they are blurrier compared to DVI and HDMI but they work. If I get DVI or HDMI, then I will have to replace KVMs and cables. They're not cheap when I last checked!
