Linux Mint Forums

The problem with LM-KDE has been its abandonment, the project has been put aside for too long now, that created the feeling on most of us that we are not welcome any longer in here and as result, people have been abandoning the community steadily, even Bo, who was in charge, has left the project de...

There is not going to be a Debian edition, the next KDE release will be based on Ubuntu

Maybe Joe, but if the lead developer is not working on this then I fail to see how they can be treating it as a priority. Though this may just be a matter of perspective. @Kage, I agree there are lots of us in this boat. On the openSuse post in another thread, I have run it from USB but not installe...

I am really going to try and not be cynical in this post but I have some worries that KDE has been dropped (in part) for the development of Cinnamon. Looking here https://github.com/linuxmint/Cinnamon it appears that Clem is working flat out on this project. Where this leaves Mint12 KDE is anyones g...

That really is good news

Fandangio, tried to download the ISO but connection was extremely slow. I tried Open Suse before but it didn't work well for me. Could you tell us your experience with 12.1? Hope it is a good release and works as expected. Cheers! I will probably do the install over the weekend, and be sure to post...

For KDE fans who can't wait for LMDE KDE, OpenSUSE12.1 is out now!

I was just reading the same article and whilst I do understand some of his arguments I agree that there seems to be a fair amount of bias toward Ubuntu. What I still don't get with Mint 12 though is the desire to take a DE (Shell) and make it look and react like a "traditional" desktop. If...

I have another machine for that with Ubuntu. I have Unity and Gnome Shell and have recently been booting into Gnome a fair bit. It's a machine I only use for limited tasks such as web browsing and video playback. For that they are equally proficient (though I prefer Gnome). Maybe that is their sole ...

For me KDE is the perfect DE. It does everything Gnome 2.x did and more. It allows for a traditional workflow but with many features that make it perfect for getting work done. For me it is fast too (though admittedly I have a mid spec machine - well, low mid spec I guess). It's amazing that there i...

I didn't realise there was such a disparity in HW requirement.
If that's the case then there is a place for mate.

edit: now that 3D acceleration is not required.

I think Gnome 3 will become a success. As this is supported by an ever increasing number of Distro's there is a large pool of talent working to make this better for all. Unity on the other hand is only being developed by Canoical so will not advance at such a pace. This unilateral approach is hurtin...

A classic film...

Over to you.

An easy one for my first submission

Pipped to the post, darn it.

I think your right Karliet...

Thistleweb posted similar in another thread and I agree about reducing the scope of Mint to provide one or two awesome platforms. I feel the same about Mint12 and Gnome v's Mate. I feel the Mint team should be the first to make Gnome 3 (shell) truly awesome. Mate seems like a stop gap to me. edit: M...

If you who are so desirous for a KDE Mint would cough up the loot, he could hire a dev, perhaps a maturing University student who also codes and loves Linux. You make the assumption that people commenting on this KDE thread to not contribute to Mint. Personally I have sponsored Mint for a long time...

Sorry, maybe I should have been more explicit.

Run Gparted from a live CD such as Mint as proxima_centauri says. Though it need not be Mint, there are lots on live OS's that include partitioning software...

You would need to run GParted from a Live CD.

It's then as simple as adjusting a slider till the partition is the correct size
