So, you would guess, i use KDE, and KDE4 as of late.
And in general, i am OK with it. It is a totally new environment, but i can,
and will get used to it.
Now to the gritty parts.
Migration:
First , since some distros dont ship kde4 as the default, or also ship
kde3,
they mostly use .kde for kde3 and .kde4 for kde4 ... now the moment you switch
from say kde3 to 4 , either voluntarily or forcibly all your application
settings mail passwords just to think of a few things are gone. and for a
novice user, they are GONE *poof* cant see , cant find , no solution, no
suggestion. I am quite sure, a situation like this can be mitigated without a
lot of hassle, but it is not being addressed at the moment.
I can say, from personal experience, i know, not very scientific, but maybe
others have suffered me fate, and spent the knight fetching their data, and
migrating it to where they are supposed to be now, it was a harrowing
experience, surely to put off any novice, and even some less novice users.
So when you make the quantum leap, make sure your .kde folder is backed up,
and your file manager is ready to move some files over :-)
Cheers
Szemir
