KDE 4

Many KDE fans looking forward to the release of version 4 in December?

I just noticed that RC1 came out a couple of days ago and was wondering if anyone has given it a try yet and what general opinions of it are?

From the screenshots i have seen so far, the new plasma stuff looks pretty funky, should compete with Vista's flashyness i guess anyway. I just hope its a bit more stable, and the Dolphin file manager does look very nice as well.

Amarok 2 is also looking mighty good!

It feels more like a beta rather than an RC, many agree, the betas looked more like alphas

Not really enjoying it at all to be honest.

a lot faster than kde3 though.

I've heard that it's quite buggy, I think it was the guys at openSuse that said it wasn't good enough

Still a lot to be done tbh. This release still crashes and hangs, and the whole plasma thing needs to be worked out. Did seem a bit more tieded up though, dolphin is nice.

So realistically is there likely to be a stable release in December? Or is it going to be more likely a case of waiting till sometime next year for a patched up version?

Not Sure. If you a re worried about these things, wait for 4.1
