But it won't remain for long if it keeps being outstripped because of their stubbornness to not release reasonably modern desktops.If you've found these tutorials useful, please consider donating a small amount to one of my favorite non-profits/charities. So why would they release an OLDER and BUGGIER version of KDE into an operating system which isn't even released yet? Why not? 3.4 is proven better and more reliable than 3.3. Why not? They said that 3.4 will not go into sid until the next version is released. This allows people who wish to track Sid on their computers to track Sid more reliably, and with better support, performance, and features. Only it is done out in the open with cooperation. So what is the downfall of using kubuntu (which is just a stabalized tracking of Sid)? Kubuntu is just the same that you and I do with Debian Unstable in our own homes. Since testing and unstable aren't releases anyway, there is no guarantee you can keep track of debian proper while using them without breakage. Not to sound like a troll, but debian remains in the stone age. This is however no serious problem, as Kubuntu isn't really the OS you'd want on that big-iron IBM or that 33 MHz PDA anyway.

* It doesn't support as many architectures as Debian does. * MPlayer had to be compiled from source (Marillat package had dependency problems) My university ( alone has a couple of Debian repos. Exceptions: German localization, KDE development stuff, ethereal, xosview
#Mplayer kubuntu install#
* It was very easy to install and includes almost all software I regularly use right on the CD. My Debian seems bloated in comparison, but that might be because of KDE 3.3 or because I let it grow bloated (remember, everyone creates his own Debian) * It's so similar to Debian, I can copy config files, apt-get, change locales and so forth just like before. Now that Kubuntu is out, I installed it this morning, and have been enjoying it ever since. Decided I really _did_ like KDE that much better, and booted back to Debian within the hour. I have been running Debian testing/unstable for over a year, and tried Ubuntu Warty once when it first came out. Well, I am currently in exactly the situation you describe.

Improve both projects and their integration, not to fork one of them. Situation directly for people using official Debian and KDE. Kalyxo on the other hand is trying to improve the If it's the most respectful Debian fork I know, some of their improvements To claim we have something when it's not good enough (following our ownĪs a side note, I'd like to add that (K)ubuntu is mostly a Debian fork (even

That's probably our biggest mistake, but well. I have to admit that we're maybe not communicating enough outside the core you've hardly been involved enough in Kalyxo during the past It's sometimes even complementary and some things in Kubuntu comes from our That's a different kind of work currently, You were not even aware of this.ĭon't take this as a personal attack, but please stop to ask people working Place, we changed list with the project rename (Kalyxo) since some users whereĬonfused and asking things on list that was in fact directed to the debianĭevelopers. It's just that you're not subscribed at the right
