I'm really fed up with doing an update on my system, a system I have spent
hundreds of hours using and refining to suit my needs to find that once again
functionality that I use has been removed or made unusable without any warning
prior to the update. KDE is the best full functional configurable Linux
desktop, but it is the worst for updates that break things or replace working
functionality with something that requires major hardware updating for it to
work (Dropping Compiz in favor of clunky slow Plasma) It took months, no years
for Plasma to get anywhere near Compiz functionality. The mucking about with
login types and the mess that still exist today are just small examples of the
continues anoyance. But the one thing Linux users use everyday is the graphic
user interface on their screen. It is what sells KDE and Linux to new users, it
is what makes the system usable by experienced users. Fundamentally changing it
by removing function is both short sited and foolhardy. The only other
operating system producer to have been so ridiculously short sighted is
Microsoft who to this day have not and may not ever recover the popularity that
the windows XP interface had. Microsoft have been able to get away with it
because the vast majority of Microsoft end users don't know how to use anything
else. Its a level of arrogance that Some haven't survived (Big Blue and the
PS2). Please don't be arrogant by assuming people didn't use the cube or by
saying you don't have the resources to maintain KDE without taking backward
functionality steps and it doesn't matter because other stuff is more
important. Nothing is more important than how KDE looks and feels it is after
all a graphics user interface.
