KDE
Not all distros are made equal, particularly if you're a KDE user. KDE
has had something of a rough time over the last couple of years. The
transition from version 3.5 to 4.x hasn't been easy, and over this
period many distributions have decided to use either Gnome or stick with
KDE 3.5 as their default desktop.
But we feel KDE 4 has now matured to a point where most KDE users can
safely dump their old desktop and move on to the new one. There are very
few stability issues, and most of the functionality found in 3.5 has
been migrated to 4.3. The question is, which Linux distro provides the
best experience for KDE users?
Rather than providing simple packages for KDE, a real KDE distro is
likely to include GUI refinements, usability tweaks, custom themes,
artwork and a good selection of KDE applications. It's also nice when
Gnome and GTK applications play happily with their KDE counterparts,
especially if a compatible theme has been chosen from them both.
KDE-based distros should be able to do this better than simple Gnome
desktops.
So, we took eight of the top KDE-focused distros and pitched them
head-to-head to find which ones really rock, and which ones just limp
along with a vanilla set of packages. Read on!
Go there...
