faster linux desktop…
i got quite frustrated with kde4 and it’s bugs/memory overeating/crashing… so, i’ve decided to switch to lightweight xfce and optimize desktop machine a bit…
first, i did some tweaking as said here, then i managed startup programs with rcconf, improved my graphics as described here and finally found decent applications which helped me to forget about kde4 🙂
used before -> using now
kate -> geany
amarok -> exaile
firefox -> google chrome
kontact -> evolution
ktorrent -> transmission
konsole -> terminal
kwallet -> revelation
kopete -> empathy
krdc -> terminal server client
btw. if U think that xfce is ugly, make sure U visit xfce-look and deviantart – U will be amazed!
