After rebuilding his KDE desktop better and stronger than before, Chris and Matt dig into what really seems to be troubling the Gnome project, what really makes a desktop easy to use, and if the Ubuntu Edge campaign was a sophisticated PR stunt.
Plus the live feedback from our Mumble room, your emails, and more!

Shit KDE Says:
- Saturday 18:22 I perform an packer -Syu like a boss.
- Elect to not reboot, like a boss
- Sunday Morning I shutdown before LAS to move out to the studio. Gotta clean the pipes.

- I log in, trying to get ready for LAS but KDE kicks an error
Executable: plasma-desktop PID: 830 Signal: Segmentation fault (11)
- My desktop flashes a few times and I am SOL.
- Based on recommendations from the professional internet people in the IRC, I backup/move my .kde4 folder
- I log in, and find my KDE as fresh as a up and coming crossdressing porn star\’s arse.
- Debated the quick fix, which involved going in with laser like rm strike teams.
rm -rf ~/.kde4/share/config/plasma*
- But in stead upted for the boss level route:
rm -rf ~/.kde4
- This put me back at square zero with my KDE config.
- This time around I decided to double down on tweaking defaults from the go.
- My initial switch to KDE I tried to keep things default. That was a big mistake.
- KDE is meant to be tweaked.
- Started with \”System Settings\” and just went down each and every single option one by one until I was happy.
- My KDE setup is even more amazing then before. Really love my current setup.
