Comments on: A Look at Native KDE 4.0 for OS X http://gigaom.com/apple/a-look-at-native-kde-40-for-os-x/ Mon, 28 May 2012 12:08:06 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: David http://gigaom.com/apple/a-look-at-native-kde-40-for-os-x/#comment-326603 Mon, 21 Jul 2008 21:11:39 +0000 http://theappleblog.com/2008/01/25/a-look-at-native-kde-40-for-os-x/#comment-326603 Articles like this made me believe that MacOS will be as useful as Linux was – and I bought a Mac. I am so much disappointed by the Mac support for open source applications. X apps on Mac are like X apps under Cygwin. Without MacPorts this would be a useless machine. I am fed up with Aqua – KDE is so much more convenient. I’ll have to install now Linux on my Mac and after the kind of support for open source apps on MacOS I do not think I will ever buy another Mac.

@Joseph – not complaining about the /opt so much as I’m a tad disappointed there wasn’t a KDE4 folder in /Applications with at least links to the apps (makes it more difficult for the average user to want to play with the new toys)

I’m told that KDE 4.1 is going to be *amazing*… 4 is plenty entertaining, so if it only gets better things are looking good for cross-platform development with decent look-and-feel (& functionality)

There’s a reason for it: separation of preinstalled and extra system software. You don’t want KDE in /usr

I don’t see anything happening, but it seems like it would come in handy for me.

We’re going to see some really cool cross-platform apps in the next 9-15 months, I suspect.

I suspect it won’t be long before Mac & Windows users. (Those new to KDE should take a look here – http://amarok.kde.org/ – for what we’re talking about. You can think of Amarok as iTunes on steroids with a triple venti Americano tossed in for good measure.)

Does that mean that Amarok can also be installed on Mac/Windows very soon?
