A Man and his Penguin

After reading the Linux Format article about how to do stuff with KDE 4, I decided to install it on my desktop.

Wow. Just wow. This is a very polished desktop, and I expect it would be better if I had a full KDE installation. (I’ve only got the core components at the moment).

Kwin needs some serious work on its performance. With compositing enabled the desktop runs very slowly. Some animations I simply don’t see because it simply skips all the frames, whereas Compiz speeds things up. But oh yes, my next Ubuntu will be Kubuntu.
