Actually worse than Windows 7, buggy, crippled and sad. KDE used to rock, now it appears to be a last ditch attempt to emulate something flawed. Will not un-install when used with other Desktop Environment. Must resort to Synaptic to remove dozens of orphaned KDE apps and libraries. So disappointing, it has become an unwieldy juggernaut!
Best choice for all who really work on the native Software like KDEnlive, KDEvelop, Calibre Office, kmail, Kompozer and so on ... Everything well integrated but a little different, better try it on your faster machine ;-) if you like conservative looks leave it, if you need special looks love it!
This is one of the best, but unfortunately it fails to intall over cinnamon
bug reporting windows constintly comes up and dont know why or how to auto submit or disable reporting coming up this is sooo anoying!
top Desktop Environment out there imho. And it's free! Unbelievable speed and performance despite its amazing look. And it's more customizable than Gnome too. Love it.
If you want a highly configurable Desktop enviroment then KDE is for you. with version 4.8 its very stable and lsot all of its bugs (earlier 4.0 till 4.6)
It's not really the best. When I set my desktop enviornment to KDE, I con't find any traces of linux mint, and, it adds too much junk to your computer that bloats it up.
