Before I officially start this blog I want to present you a short movie of my previous Linux OS: Kubuntu 9.04. It had the KDE 4.2 with Kwin desktop effects. It worked almost perfect, with some minor errors, but now there is an updated version of Kubuntu 9.04 and I think the bugs are fixed. The package manager is very easy to use, maybe the easiest, and has almost everything you need.
At the moment I’m preparing to install a version of Linux to start working. I think I’ll install Linux Mint. If you have another suggestion please leave a comment.
TOO much eyecandy on your KDE desktop. Why on earth would anyone have falling snow on his/her desktop?!?
I’m using Linux Mint for a few good months now and it works quite fine. I’ll have to upgrade to Gloria since Felicia’s Pidgin doesn’t work at all (couldn’t update to the latest release, therefore Yahoo messaging is impossible). Gnome isn’t as polished (visually) as KDE, but once you’ll get the hang of it, it becomes quite friendly and pimpable.
Good luck and keep posting!
