Hürschkäfer (Lucanus Cervus)
Being a Linux user for about 12 years now, I’ve also used KDE since version 1. I also used version 2, and KDE 3 finally provided a comfortable user interface for a Linux driven computer.
However, I avoided to install version 4 due to the heavy changes to the underlying system. I needed to install KDE 4.3 anyway as soon as the lifetime of my operating system was over. And frankly, 4.3 still had some minor but rather annoying bugs. I don’t want to complain. I’m a member of the global open source developer’s village, and my very own code is far from being bug free.
Meanwhile KDE 4.4 is out, and Ubuntu 10.04 (aka Lucid Lynx) was released today. Operating system upgrades usually break some things, so I’m usually reluctant to install them. But today, I could not resist.
So I’m running a backup right now, and will run the upgrade immediately after it. The weekend will be a rainy one, so I’ll have some time to fix potential issues. Wish me luck :) .
