KDE 4.2 and laptops

Published by Ivan Čukić in the KDE development section, on 2 February 2009

I haven’t been looking at the PowerDevil+Plasma related news with enthusiasm before (or, tbh, I haven’t looked at ’em at all). And now that I need it, the battery applet and all that, I’m just astonished how well it performs. And how many options it has. Kudos for all involved!

then there is kde bluetooth stack. Again awesome, cell-to-laptop-to-main-computer…

KWin is fast, plasma also, everything is just… awesome!

BTW, this is the first time I don’t use self-compiled KDE4 packages, and it’s not bad at all. Debian’s KDE team made very good packages of 4.2, and even though 4.2 is in experimental repo (I’m using Sid on this eee), it behaves better than kubuntu installations on my familie’s computers.

So three times “hurray” to all mentioned above!

Sorry for my english,
I don't know the true kde performance because of my nvidia card :(
I use the precompiled packages for kubuntu, could you score the compiled/precompiled packages ratio please?

First eeeLancelot and now this. Stop teasing me Ivan! >_<
Glad to hear that performance is good, I was afraid that Plasma + KWin with Composite would be too much for these small netbooks.

@<a href="#comment-7582" rel="nofollow">Hans</a>: I'm not evil, I just behave that way :)
In all honesty, this little guy is faster than normal netbooks (it is not Atom based - eeePC 1000HD).
But nevertheless, as far as the graphics are concerned, it shows Plasma dashboard faster than my main (Phenom X4) computer - intel trumps nvidia :/

On my eeePC 1000 kde4 works very nice, including PowerDevil, suspend, NetworkManager plasmoid and sending files via bluetooth.

Can I ask what KDE bluetooth system you're using? The only one I can find in the debian repos seems to be for kde3. I'm on Sidux with KDE4.2 from experimental, also.

@<a href="#comment-7585" rel="nofollow">Jarrad</a>: I'm also curious - konqueror in 4.2 doesn't handle the bluetooth:/ uris anymore either

@<a href="#comment-7585" rel="nofollow">Jarrad</a>: It really is from KDE3... hm... I haven't noticed that.
@<a href="#comment-7586" rel="nofollow">cleary</a>: I've never used bluetooth kio so I didn't check that at all.

I think I have seen somewhere that kde4 buetooth is in the works... maybe on the openSUSE blog. It is on my "KDE3 components still on my system" list.

Congratulations for your netbook running debian and kde 4.2! By the way, is it a eee1000 or 1000HD?
