I love Linux Mint & KDE. But I need a 64bit KDE desktop for my workstation and I have to stick with Kubuntu. 🙁

Using the startx command, after I logged in got my desktop up. After the first update, there hasn’t been any more problems booting.
I’ve been all over this OS the last few days and I love it. It works with every piece of hardware connected and it the OS let’s me use the computer the way I’ve been wanting an OS to work.
On top of that, it looks awesome!!!

Hello my friend, we are all tech junkies and want the latest and greates – however Mint wants to be stable as a rock.
It took them 2 1/2 months to get KDE 4.3 into an acceptable state.

Clem, Boo, Husse, exploder and all the other colleagues do rigorous testing and optimizations, for quality that is better than Kubuntu’s.

To Introduce a new KDE version that’s not even testet would be counterproductive. We are at **release candidate** status, means close to a release. Expect no more big changes until then.

I support the Mint team the way they are doing it.

If you want to play with KDE-4.4 there will be live-CDs soon. There will also be Kubuntu packages (for the next 10.04, or backports for 9.10). Maybe install Kubuntu in a Virtualbox and play with it, to find if it has interesting new features. That is a good idea for the curious. You could even help the developers find bugs.

i wish you do that

“This might be a stupid question. I have mint 8 main edition and I want to try KDE. Can I install the KDE desktop environment on my mint 8 main edition like an update? or should I install the KDE in a separate partition?”

I installed KDE just after installing the Gnome edition. I went through Synaptic and installed all the bits that looked like they formed a KDE desktop (can’t remember what they were, just typed KDE in the search box). If you use WiFi you will need to install wicd (a wireless network manager) – it will remove the default manager but is more reliable than it. In fact, KDE installed onto Gnome is much more responsive than when KDE is installed as the default window manager; I’d love to know why that is but no one seems to have an answer.
