no age and time to start learning, you practically learn all your life.
The same set of rules are followed by the tech world as well. KDE and
Cinnamon are undoubtedly the two leading desktop environments in the
Linux world today. The two are 'tough' competitors when it comes to
functionality and user share. Cinnamon offers a pretty neat development
speed, is widely acknowledged within the user community and provides
noticeable chunks of control and simplicity. However, does it outsmart
KDE? Well, not really! |
|
Here are 6 things that Cinnamon can learn from KDE:
1. Cross-platform support
-Cinnamon is a Linux only desktop environment, on the other hand KDE is a truly cross-platform solution (its framework available on Solaris, FreeBSD, OSX, and even Windows).
-Now, Cinnamon will keep you happily busy as long as you have some form of Linux under the hood, however, with KDE users can test and explore its various options, tools and programs before thinking about switching fully!
2. Attention to detail
-Being a German idea, KDE is pretty neat (as tidy as 'tidy' could be!) and boasts of a very careful attention to detail. With KDE, everything seems to fit everything else.
-Whatever distribution it might be, if it runs KDE, you know you will have a solid, familiar behavior and an expected level of precision.
3. Full stack
-KDE desktop is a complete stack, no matter how deeply you search through the menus and options, the uniformity persists.
-You can search for additional content and supplemental software without leaving the comfort of your desktop environment.
4. Applications
-KDE comes with the most complete and most uniform set of applications that users could ever imagine, non-Linux operating systems included.
-On the other hand, with Cinnamon the system menu choice reflects the particular distro developers bundling their favorite set. Move from one Cinnamon to another and you will know!
5. Powerful services and social integration
-KDE programs are acclaimed for their highly detailed menus and options. Whatever application it might be, it comes with a set of extras and easy social integration.
6. Professional touch
-A powerful set of applications and a complete stack of tools and options bundled together with an extremely consistent behavior make KDE the most professional of all Linux desktop environments.
-Furthermore, thanks to Qt one day we may see more and more of this framework on non-desktop computing devices.
