KDE 3.* was the last half-decent KDE.

You can still install Trinity
>>53532782
Install Red Star OS
>>53532801
are you retarded
>>53532782
looks like Mac OS 10.4 and XP had a baby.
>>53532801
it's krashing like a motherbitch
>>53532782
now we wait for dat shiposting to begin
I still don't get why they had to fuck up every DE.
KDE 4 and 5 are still bloated trash
Gnome shell has really shitty defaults and retarded design guidelines, designed for tablets even though there are none which really support it
Gnome2 got raped by the linux mint devs
KDE3 gets basically no updates by the trinity team, not sure what's going on there
LXDE has not enough functions
XFCE is basically the same as gnome2
>>53532863

404 in 5 minutes
>>53532897
i know, right, kde3 and gnome2 were fucking perfect
>>53532912
>>53532782
It was sloooow. Slower then whatever version of Gnome was used back then. Way slower than Xfce.
Haven't tried it since.
Why did we have better DEs 11 years ago than we have now? Seriously look at this, it was perfect back then.
>>53532897
There's nothing really wrong with xfce.
>>53532987
one you reach perfection, the only direction remaining is down
>>53532987

>>53533020
The vast majority of DE changes are design choices that have nothing to do with improvements of technology. Disliking these design choices is in no way similar to luddism.
so was KDE 3.x slim on deps?
>>53532782
YES, so true
>installed trinity recently
>GTK3 applications looked like complete shit
>>53532801
It crashes if you give it a mean look.
KDE4.* is the best KDE ever.
>>53533257
how does one point relate to the other?
>>53532897
Agreed but on benchmarks.
Default LXDE and MATE top everything at this point in time. ( Gnome shell is also decent, but meh )
With KDE being as good as them but only if you debloat it and disable some shit.
People not liking it being bloating by default does not magically make the desktop environment shitty, because it isn't, it's pretty good, specially with resources if you debloat it.
>>53533273
KDE should apply it's theme to GTK applications, but GTK3 support seems to be completely missing
>>53533339
gtk3 changes rapidly/mindlessly which causes many gtk3 theme to break
>>53533339
trinity runs on a self-maintained version of qt3 (gtk3 didn't exist)
they're working on making it portable to newer versions of qt, but it's not ready for that yet
>>53532897
Gnome 3 is really good if you use tweak tool to make it good. Extensions are fucking amazing.
>Coverflow
>Dash to Dock
>Drop Down Terminal (With Turn off Hot Corner feature)
>Taskbar
>Applications Menu
Boom. Suddenly Gnome 3 is good.
>>53532782
Evertyihng looked better those days, especially websites.
>>53534639
>bookmarks in file browser
>crowded task bar
>zoom in/out buttons with freaking drop-down menus
ah, good old KDE. Now I remember why I didn't like it then and don't like it now.
>>53532814
Compiling DEs from source is a huge pain in the ass.
I really wish trinity would fork their entire codebase (like MATE did) sovthat it can be packaged and put on a repo
>>53533272
Nice 2 year old memes
Plasma 5 has been stable for a while now
>>53536505
>plasma5

well memed
GNOME 2 was the most pleasant desktop environment I ever used.
>>53536535
Stop being retarded
I've been using it for 6 months on arch and i havent had a single crash or problem.
How the fuck do I build trinity?
The guide they have is shit
KDE4 is dead since November 2014.
On the bright side, there was a new release of KDE3 last month.

>>53532782
Ugly as fuck
>>53532801
MUH FLAT
Fuck off
>>53536540
GNOME2 is the epitome of "just works."
>mfw XFCE uses the same specs as MATE
Xfce is the best KDE.
>>53534257
>million extensions to make it "not shit"
>2GB RAM usage while idle
Nope.
>>53536543
>works on my machine TM
Fuck off. I tried to use it on Arch last week and it crashes everywhere. Plasma, kwin, everything krashes all the time.
And this is coming from a KDEfag.
>>53538191
Plasma 5 is only really usable on OpenSUSE and Manjaro and even then I don't want it out of principle. The devs' approach to bugfixing is almost systemd tier at times
>>53533000
Trips speak the truth
>>53538191
>Arch
Found your problem.
Is KDE 5 that bad? I really like the look flat look and I need something that works well with touchscreens. Should I steer clear?
>>53532782
Looks like a cheap Win 98 knock off
