After upgrading with Slackware to version 4.7 I've noticed a substantial speed increase, however the removal of the back button on the kickoff menu annoys me, and while the breadcrumb trail is nice to have it's a suppliment to but not a replacement for a dedicated back button. Hopefully they'll rectify this bug with the release of 4.7.1.. I mean I suppose I could just use lancelot until then, but come on this is just basic usability stuff.

KDE4 has the best technology. It improved a lot on the interface from KDE3 (with more buttons and sub-menus in your face than a 3D modeling app), but I think that now that they are ahead, KDE should settle down an perform a Mac OS X 10.5 (zero extra features and streamlining things and ironing out the quirks and making shit faster). Yet still there is a lot to be improved and desired when it comes to actual interface design.
I think that we can learn a lot about tablet UI's without turning KDE into a tablet.

I just upgraded to linux-3.0. Gotta say, the kernel 3.0 + KDE 4.7 + mesa-git is incredibly fast combination so far. Talk negatively on KDE 4.7 as much as you wish, for me it is by far the fastest and the most stable release of KDE 4.

Originally posted by RealNC View PostI've now tried this. Unfortunately, factory seems botched right now: After I wrote the ISO to a USB stick using ddrescue, I booted from it. KDE comes up but it then sort of hangs. The USB LED is flashing like crazy and any action I try to do needs about 5 minutes to register. I waited like 20 minutes or so, but it doesn't help; the USB LED still flashes. I tried to Ctrl+Alt+F1 to a console, and it needed 5 minutes to switch to the console. Tried to login as root, but it doesn't accept the input after pressing enter.
So that was a no go.

Btw, I was able to gain a bit of performance back by reverting the 3.0.0 kernel back to 2.6.39, which I had patched with BFS. At least this avoids the "crap-fest" when there's CPU load in the background.

Originally posted by droste View PostI just wanted to correct my self: You obviously need the openSUSE factory (12.1 milestone 3 and not 11.4) live cd to get KDE 4.7. You can get it here: http://software.opensuse.org/developer -> choose KDE live cd
So that was a no go.
