Ditching KDE Applications

I like a lot of KDE applications, but they were starting to slow down on my GNOME system. Plus, Gloobus Preview is awesome.

Elementary OS 0.1 "Jupiter" is fast, slick, and pretty, and it's an amazing distribution, but the developers did promise some things that couldn't be included in the end.

Apple's lawsuit threats have gone beyond the "app store" name and surrounding controversy; they now target Emacs, that venerable text editor. WHAT!?

Review: Bodhi Linux 1.0.0

Bodhi Linux released its first stable version, 1.0.0. It has a few aesthetic and organizational issues, but its application selection makes it much better than before.

Review: Chakra 2011.02

Chakra is an interesting Arch-based distribution that uses KDE. It's fairly user-friendly and has most applications regular users would need, though the installer is crash-prone.

openSUSE 11.4 is out and comes with KDE 4.6 or GNOME 2.30 (though other DEs are available). I tested it using a live USB on my laptop. Despite the troubles Novell seems to be having right now, openSUSE 11.4 looks to be the best release yet.
