...gnome rules and Cinnamon is already cool...

Well, now we know where you really stand.

...I'm not going to comment on this thread anymore...

Thank you. Your intentions were always pretty transparent. Do I smell a troll???

...So, i leave you in peace...and i am not trolling either nor was i...when i got vicious in my responses it was only to show them how immature and stupid it sounds...but i don't think the message got through, unfortunately...

So i go in peace ...

This is the second time Craig10x has said he is leaving the thread, and many times over he keeps coming here to stir the pot. Sure smells like a troll to me...no matter what he writes.

If it walks like a troll, and quacks like a troll...it must be a troll.

I was asking Clem a straight question.

But "bye" again Craig. This thred will miss you!

I think that Craig must be woman. Because man keeps his word.

Dude, you have to start hanging with different women. Credibility is earned and not a gender based characteristic.

I mentioned at various charts of Top 10 Linux Distributions of 2011 that every contains Chakra Linux.
And Chakra was always consider there like pure KDE progressive distribution with big future potential and one of the most beatiful distro of 2011.
Is somebody here who tried it in the meantime of waiting for LM 12 KDE?
Is it worth of trying?

I did.
As expected I encountered several probs with my hardware which were not easy to tackle.
They do have an active and helpfull forum.

Clem's comment from the Cinnamon announcement post:

We’re also hiring an extra dev. for the whole year of 2012 who will be focusing mostly on KDE (I can’t talk too much about this yet, we’ll make a separate announcement when this is finalized) and so he’ll help iron things out for the stable release.

to the comment of bubbablues:
mint 12 kde should be released soon.in the community testing iso images clem has worked on the 64 kde and said he will be releasing the 32bit.dont know when but it will be soon.not a kde person but installing kde-full right now to give it a go.played with kde on kubuntu and didnt like it at all.tried the calculate linux 12.1 and loved it.trying to find a distros kde similar.but decided to just wait for mints kde.

Today testing of Lisa KDE Edition i386 has been started.

And I see the amd64 iso is also available for testing.

It seems to me that Mint Kde version is increasing its position and future.

i read that the kde 64 iso is avalible for testing where do i download the iso? sorry seems stupid but i cant find it. would be nice too even test the actual verson of mint kde instead of having too install kde ontop of gnome.

[BubbaBlues]

I predict that KDE will eventually become the main version of Mint. Gnome has gone completely off the deep end. As bad as it was before, it's
even worse now.

The testing iso is only available to the official testing team. You'll have to wait for the release of the RC.

I think Cinnamon will save Gnome. It's already impressive and should be excellent by Mint 13 release.
I was kind of hoping Mint KDE would be Debian. Mepis 11 based on Debian with KDE flies on my netbooks. Kubuntu runs like a slug. Will still check out Mint's KDE version when it's released.

kubuntu not only runs sluggish,the d.e seemed very buggy to me.kubuntu -100.tried the kde-full and it operated the same as kubuntu.im trusting the clem and the gang will create a far better kde version since he's doing a great job with d.e tweaks

The opposite is true for me. Kubuntu 11.10 runs good and fast with no real bugs. The only two issues I have seen is right-click-save as doesn't always work in Firefox and the ghosting on the task bar which goes away once I click the bar..

I don't think the first issue is a firefox issue since it only occurs in Kubuntu..

I have to agree with KBD47 here. I'm not a Gnome fan but I have played around with it after installing Cinnamon and it beats the current Gnome in Mint 12..
