So you want to know how important KDE 4 is?
I’ve followed and written about the development of the KDE 4.0 project on the old version of this blog. Until now however, I’ve never addressed the criticism that some sections of the Linux community have heaped on it. So I’ll just start with this post in the blogosphere that caught my eye.
I wonder if KDE 4 has hurt the KDE project?
No, as has been said by others countless of times before, it hasn’t. It’s as they say – no pain, no gain. If you want your project to become a long-term success you have to take risks, and the KDE development team should be lauded even now for their early release of KDE 4.0 with a warning that it was meant for experimental and development purposes to provide a platform for developing Qt4 applications and take the KDE project in a new direction. GNOME clearly aren’t in the spotlight yet, because they’re not rewriting the desktop from the ground up (or atleast judging by the GNOME 3.0 shell reviews I’ve read, they aren’t). Feel free to correct me if I’m wrong here.

Samsung is working on new memory technologies that provide faster bandwidth inside hardware for data to travel between CPUs, storage and other computing resources. The company also announced it was partnering with Red Hat to ensure these technologies have Linux compatibility. |
