I have kde atm running and nepomuk uses only about 25mb ram and akonadi uses about 80mb ram.

Originally posted by Prescience500 View PostI think that most of the people who have issues with KDE being slow don't have enough RAM. That is KDE's biggest flaw. It uses huge amounts of RAM. Last I checked nepomuk slows things down too, but that's easy enough to disable. I'd say that KDE isn't bloated so much as it runs too much all the time. For instance, i don't need or want Akonodi (which consumes a huge amount of the RAM I've mentioned) running if I'm not using Kontact or something. I'd rather have the option to only run these components on demand, not all the time. It opens when I open kontact, it closes when I close kontact.
Btw, I can't speak for anyone else, but the Quick Access plasma widget is so amazing. I'm so spoiled on it that any time I use any other desktop envirnment, I get really impatient and flustered because I have to go through all of these extra steps to access documents and what not.
I disabled nepomuk and akonadi in my KDE install. They were taking up a lot of resources. Without them running, everything is very snappy. Maybe that's the OP's problem?

Anyone know if there still isn't a way to make KDE use that key as a way to open up the launcher?

KDE is nice and all, but it needs to mature a little. They can start by addressing the numerous crashes Gwenview generates on rather simple images (yes, I filed dozens of bug reports - I've never had this happen with Gpicview). Or after I close a random KDE app (especially when the "about" dialog was last displayed), it crashes ungracefully and pops an error message. That alone kills the user experience, especially for new users. I don't know about programming, otherwise I'd help them stabilize these issues myself.Last edited by 1c3d0g; 20 July 2012, 08:45 AM.

Originally posted by seraphim View PostKDE is still far to bloated, sluggish and unstable to be considered a usable desktop environment. This latest update does nothing to address these flaws. The only sane desktops for power users and those who want to get work done are Xfce, LXDE and Cinnamon. The rest are junk.

Originally posted by bug77 View PostI'm not seeing any difference, other then more frequent crashes. Kopete seems to lead the pack. I know Telepathy is supposed to be the new kid on the block, but that doesn't even show me my yahoo contacts; which is a step up because it used to be unable to log in.
It's not all bad, it's just a crash or two in a whole day of using KDE. Hopefully the final version will fix these.
