That looks like Windows XP with AIDS.

in 1998, I was BEGGING aol for dialing strings to use on fucking Turbo linux to connect to the net. kids today have it pretty good.
Charles Jackson
No. No it wasn’t. Openbox and it’s simple configs was and is the most comfy, basic window management system and building block for a user configured, traditional floating window desktop experience.

I guess it's better than FVWM

I don't "struggle" with it

Honestly: It was probably the comfiest KDE desktop. I have found memories of KDE 3. I really liked it. Then the disaster that was KDE 4.0 came in 2008. I switched to XFCE and I've been using XFCE ever since. I know the latest KDE is better than the 4.0 disaster but it's still not nearly as comfy as KDE 3.
Noah Carter
It was really great. KDE really had lightning in a bottle at the time. I went to meet with the developers in Dublin at their Akademy conference in 2006 and was excited as hell to hear what they were working on next. Then Aaron Seigo started talking about Plasma and it was all downhill from there. RIP KDE3 gone but never forgotten.

KDE 2.0 was. KDE 3.0 was a bloated broken mess.
Gnome 3.0 was comfy too.
Wyatt Collins
Good times.
Liam Bailey
Bestiest times.
Angel White
nice assessment there asswipe
Chase Lewis
We should ditch clover OS and compile these desktops and distribute them as .deb packages. We could offer Devuan (Debian without systemd) with these installed.
Ethan Rivera
Let's not forget that KDE was supposed to be...
>powerful Open Source graphical desktop environment for Unix workstations.
Loonix fags ruined KDE.
Nathaniel Carter
I reinstalled SUSE 9 in a VM the other month and was surprised at how snappy and functional everything felt. Modern Linux devs seem to have a screw loose as they keep pumping out shit.
Adam Williams
It's called "muh bloat", because developer times means more than user time. Who cares if the user has a shit experience.
Christian Edwards
That theme just makes me feel so relaxed and at ease
Jack Perry
Never forget, GNOME was a shitty hacky knock off of KDE due to autistic licensing faggotry.
Jonathan Thomas
Gnome was made to utilize GTK in a desktop environment as an alternative to Qt.
Easton Allen
What is your honest opinion on Trinity DE? trinitydesktop.org
Q4OS looks cool too.
Eli Evans
So pretty much what I said. Autistic licensing faggotry about Qt license lead to them making a shitty, hacky, knock off of KDE based on GTK garbage.
Retarded autistic neckbeards set back progress by literally decades.
Jaxson Barnes
It was GTK and Qt not Gnome desktop environment itself.
So the right statement would be:
>Never forget, GTK was a shitty hacky knock off of Qt due to autistic licensing faggotry.

looks like current XFCE

Easton Sanders
that's spanish you dumb burger
Liam Perez
I hated KDE back then, I thought the interface was to Playschool-y. I much prefer the current iteration of Plasma.
Michael Clark
I find it funny now that the "light" XFCE feels heavier and has less features than Windows 7.
If they weren't all obviously such idiots I'd suspect sabotage.
Asher Bell
If the taskbar wasn't so thick, yes.
Eli Garcia
You obviously weren't there you retard.
UNIX workstations weren't competitive except in small niches, BSD had legal and funding problems, and Microsoft was steadily taking over everything.
If anything, Linux saved the Unix OS family from irrelevance.
Wyatt Wilson
are there any color schemes like this for current KDE?
Andrew Butler
I miss those square and pixel-centric graphics. These days it seems like UIs are doing their best to pretend they're not on a computer.
Isaac Jackson
Windows XP was AIDS.
Aaron Foster
are you typing this from a windows rt tablet?
Landon Torres
>using realplayer
Kaffeine was comfy but even then SUSE haven't included basic codecs or make it easy to install them.
Lie. Aside 3D acceleration (S3 shit), everything worked. The printer needed some config, but that's all.
Asher Hughes
KDE was buggy as fuck.
In 2004 GNOME 2 was king.
Jaxon Butler
Jayden Davis
Is Trinity DE dead? It was the KDE 3 fork.
Ian Anderson
Looks like asshole. Why do linuxfags fetishize ugly aesthetics? Looking nice doesn't mean losing functionality (which I assume is what you manchildren pride yourselves on)
James Walker
>gnome
>having desktop icons
Such a feature creep
It can be configured, but it's matter of taste, not system specific.
Jaxson Moore
Bluecurve is such a comfy iconset.
Juan Reed
I think we can both agree that GNOME 2.* and KDE 3.* are both miles better than what we have now.
James Watson
No
Gabriel Long
why do wintoddlers pretend their shit OS looks good?
Brayden Thompson
Yes
Chase Anderson
Maybe
Josiah Morgan
They have no choice.
Ian Morris
I miss 2000s design and don't care what people think of that

Kayden Gray
I prefer my 2004 gnome setup
Xavier Torres
Is there a way I could make modern kde look like this? I want that comfy kde early 2000s look.
Luke Carter
I used it back then. I liked it. I guess because it was on my first non-windows PC (Mandrake)
Austin Ward
Used it in uni. Good stuff.
