I tried Kubuntu 8.04 with KDE4, but it was very slow.And there is a lot of bugs.

Well, KDE4 on Hardy was never ment to be a primary solution, more sort of a testing ground, a preview of what we now know as Intrepid Ibex 8.10.
Kubuntu Ibex, however, is something different: It is optimised for KDE4, so no surprise that it works much, much better.....

(Though, still not the way I want it to work, but that's me ;) )

Yeah! I can't await to switch to the Ibex than... ;-)
Would you recommend to do this already now if I'm not bothered by small bugs? ;-))

May be Ibex will be much faster and better :)
By the way, Michael4910, are you from Germany ?

Es ist mir leichter auf Deutsch zu sprechen :)
Und wie ist deine Meinung fuer KDE 4 ?
Ich denke, dass KDE4 schoen ist, aber es gibt noch viele Probleme, die nicht geloest sind.

I think sidux will be the best KDE4 distribution once lenny becomes stable and the kde4-packages will hit sid :shade:


Scholars.de
sidux "aether" KDE 4.2.4
Kernel: 2.6.30-1-686
Box: Lenovo 3000 N100
Graphics: nVidia G72M [Quadro NVS 110M/GeForce Go 7300] - NVIDIA 185.18.14

Dein Deutsch ist gut, probiere doch mal http://www.kde-forum.de/ - das ist für deutschsprachige Diskussionen wohl geeigneter als dieses Forum hier.
Ich bin mit KDE4.1 rundum zufrieden, abgesehen vom nvidia-Treiber, der mir hier und da Probleme macht. Natürlich steht KDE erst am Anfang der 4er Reihe, und man muss hier und da ein paar "unrunde" Details hinnehmen, aber die nächste Version kommt bestimmt. ;-)

Hint: It's considered impolite to use other languages than English in an English forum like this one, because only a minority will then understand what you're saying.

I run Debian with the KDE 4 backports for Lenny and some packages from experimental.

I tried Kubuntu 8.10, but Ubuntu is too unstable for my tastes, because of its heavy focus on incorporating new stuff and the relatively short release cycles. The downside of it is that I might need to wait a little bit longer for KDE 4.2 - although the backports and experimental are quite on top of things.

I'm currently using OpenSuse 11 and KDE 4.0 looks just gorgeous. I had some Nvidia issues but nothing unsolvable. So IMHO OpenSuse 11 is the best KDE4 distro. One thing I want is Vim support in Kate. That would be sooo damn ***** Great!

I'd like to cast my vote for Gentoo. Especially with Portage 2.2's sets feature, I can choose exactly how bulky a system I want. Flawless compiling. Useflags for maximum customisability.

Awesome.

Pure awesome.

+1! Yes. It'll be epically awesome.
