KDE
KDE is a powerful graphical desktop environment for Unix workstations. It combines ease of use, contemporary functionality and outstanding graphical design with the technological superiority of the Unix operating system. KDE is a completely new desktop, incorporating a large suite of applications for Unix workstations. While KDE includes a window manager, file manager, panel, control center and many other components that one would expect to be part of a contemporary desktop environment, the true strength of this exceptional environment lies in the interoperability of its components.

Recent commentsgreat desktop shell but..
I've switched backwards and forwards between KDE and enlightenment/fluxbox for a long time now. KDE is a wonderful project and I think it's second to none in terms of features and integration.
I hope that the 3.4.2 release provides an experience that is not as bug ridden as the 3.4.1 release. I have considered every release of KDE so far to be too frustrating to be able to use for any length of time due to constant program crashes and glitches.
Awesome desktop
I usualy swap between kde and fluxbox. I use kde if i want to show off my system, and i use flux all the rest of the time. kde is good, everything is integrated so well that it makes it extreamly easy to use. it is also endlessly configurable, and extreamly easy to do so. i probably would use kde more if i hadnt had so many problems with it. but all in all i feel it is a great desktop and has an excelent community and choice of software
.
nice. thx
