Excellent news 😀
I wonder how fluent KDE will run on my lap with:
cpu [4 x Intel (R) Core (TM) i5 CPU M 460 @ 2.53GHz (GenuineIntel) @ 2.53GHz] video [Intel Corporation Core Processor Integrated Graphics Controller] sound [HDA-Intel - HDA Intel]
Flying!
Seriously? ¬_¬
I had asked because when KDE started using plasma I was slow moving the cursor in menus ... after that I started to like minimalism and ended up using pekwm 😛
Is your embedded video 256, 512 or 1024 MB? If it's 512MB then it should fly.
In mine it has a performance never seen before.
CPU [4 x Intel (R) Core (TM) i5-2520M CPU @ 2.50GHz) video [AMD / ATI] Seymour [Radeon HD 6400M / 7400M Series] + 4GB DDR3
Heh heh, damn it, with that machine they fly up to the penguins !!!
(never better said 😉)
Well, having Slackware on my HP Workstation with the KDE desktop, this happens >> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9dfWzp7rYR4
Well, in my house it flies low:
CPU [2x Intel Atom Dual Core (TM) @ 1.80GHz] 2Gb DDR3
And in my work I don't even tell them:
Mobile QuadCore Intel Core i7-2630QM, 2400MHz 4Gb DDR3-1333
Oh by the way, I don't use akonadi, or nepomuk or anything like that, to spend a little more resources I started using PyCharm (shame on myself).
Real men, they use desktop pc 😛
And they are even more so if you use a workstation at home.
Ohhh look who returned to Arch too xD
I have a 2008 lap and it flies
Well, in my case, Kde 4.11 with OpenSUSE 12.3 is better than ever (AMD V140 2.3 GHz processor, AMD / ATI Radeon HD 4200 video, with a gig of ram)
Dcoy, even windows vista flies on an i5
True Story.

Excellent news for KDEros. And since I'm playing with KDE on my virtual machine that has Slackware in VirtualBox.
Excellent news 😀
KDE is very good, stop the fear of whether or not it runs me, try and see, at work I have a Dual-Core E5700 3.00GHz with 4.10.5 and it flies, and that is a somewhat old pc for these time.
KDE is not Windows Aero. I tried KDE with 96 MB of video in VirtualBox and it really flies.
KMahjongg !! ?? WTF? Well, to play mahjongg it has been said ... 😀
I have it put for my daughter on a pentium 4 with 1GB and it works very well. Arch Linux with 4.11.
We are talking about a team of more than 10 years.

In general, KISS-based distros tend to be much faster than "easier" distros such as Arch and Slackware.
I have already used KDE in Slackware and the truth is that it has motivated me to ditch my GNOME 3.4 fallback to replace it with KDE 4.8.4 (the one I have in my Debian repos). This version looks pretty polished, and I hope it outperforms XFCE and LXDE in hardware utilization.
Well, take a look at my script for Debian KDE that with some tuning can help you automate.
I will take a look at your script, since recently GNOME 3.4 fallback by a traverse the bottom panel of the taskbar died.
I'm already in KDE >> https://blog.desdelinux.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/pantallazo-debian-kde-iceweasel.png?73b396
The boot improved?
And speaking of KDE, I'm definitely getting rid of GNOME 3.4 fallback because it has made my life miserable with its crashes. I'm off to KDE.
Gnome is usable from version 3.8 onwards, it's perfect for me 🙂
Thanks for the info. Since I use Debian Stable, I will change my GNOME 3.4 Fallback to KDE.
If you want to use Debian with KDE I would recommend you go to Testing (and still the experience is not that good), or switch to ZevenOS Neptune.
No thanks. I started using GNU / Linux with KDE 3 that was in Mandrake 9, only this time I'm going back to a desktop that I shouldn't have stopped using.
And by the way, by tinkering with the settings that KDE has, the desktop can be lightened to such a level that it can be as fast as Arch or Slackware (the latter, I'm thinking of installing it on my old Pentium IV with XFCE, since the integrated video that it has and the VIA chipset that it has embedded do not favor it so that it can be used with KDE).
Has a regression, the netbook mode does not save favors
Ready! I am already in KDE, but I still need to make a few modifications to have it ready.
Hello, how are you, thanks for the news, it has already come out in the chakra repos, but it tells me that I must uninstall the atheros driver (madwifi), but I would be without my wireless adapter, so I have not updated it, you can clarify in a post this? Please, the truth, I have searched and they all say that madwifi should be removed, but they do not say how to solve the atheros driver ..: \
well .. thank you .. (and)
