I use CentOS where I need total stability, Mandriva where I want ease for technophobics and Fedora on the rest. Where else do you get choice like this?Anne, and all KDE users. Do any of you really, and I mean really, believe that Fedora is responsible for the KDE 'problems'? That the KDE problems are not KDE's problems? That Fedora released in their ISO's a KDE that was made intentionally to 'break' KDE in Fedora?I saw no one stating nothing like that. The blame some people have put on Fedora was for shipping an incomplete KDE4 when there was the option to ship the fully functional KDE 3.5.9. These people said that Fedora should have waited for KDE4 to become more stable/functional before opting to include it in Fedora.That's all, and even that is arguable.
Agreed that Fedora could have shipped the deprecated KDE 3.5.x. But those KDE users that *made an effort* to look and, and try, KDE 4.x *first*, and did not like it, should have said - I stop here for now with Fedora 8 because I don't like it or it is not 100%. I will wait.
No one *forced* you, or anyone else, to upgrade/install Fedora 9 with KDE 4.x. No one held a gun to your head. No one said that they would eat your baby. The choice was yours. And you took it.
If you think KDE 4.x is broken on your machine or in your mind then you win the pieces. You broke your install by installing Fedora 9 with KDE 4.x. Which was your choice. Not mine. Not Fedora's. Your's.
Many others are adjusting to KDE 4.x and some are even saying that they like it. Anne is a very active KDE user and she tells me that things are improving all of the time.
BTW. Next time you blame someone for giving you something for free give it a double, or triple thought before you do. These people work very hard to *give you, for free*, what you are complaining about here. If you had *paid* for it I might accept your points. If you had made the effort to look before you leaped I might accept your points. As for now? I do not.
This thread has become a whiners contest. Who can whine the longest or the loudest. Or both.
