And if anyone wants to try KDE 4.13 (or whatever version KDE you want) without having to install it on your system, the best way is to test it in your browser with susestudio .. better than a simulation, an almost real system in your browser

Well, but you could also compare for alternative KDE defaults: openSUSE kde theme, Netrunner KDE theme, Chakra Kde theme,Nitrux Theme, Rosa Theme... There's a lot of distros who doesn't ship a vanilla KDE theme... But if you want a more moder-looking KDE.. you could wait for the default theme (wip) in Plasma Next.. for example, for Dolphin

Well, you know, they're trying: KDe HIG --> http://techbase.kde.org/Projec... KDe Viual Group --> http://wheeldesign.blogspot.se... Plasma next would be interesting...

If they could move it to Krita for texturing their game 'Super City'.. you can also do it! :)

CinePaint is a dead project for years http://www.ohloh.net/p/cinepai...

Krita is the best and most powerful open source program for digital painting. Period.It has a amazing brush engine. You can use other tool as your brush (for example, clone mode). In this version, the brushes were created by artist like Timothée Giet, Ramon Miranda, Wolthera or David Revoy. Also has handy tools for painters like rotate canvas, perspective tools, symetric and mirror modes, pseudo infinite canvas, stabilizer helpers, a lot of palette dokers, and now includes some tools for games developers like Clone Array or Wrap Around mode to create tiles. If you didn't give a try before to Krita, this is the moment. It's one of the best pieces of open source progams out there.

A response from Jolla account in google+ to an asnwer about putting an Ubuntu on Jolla OS: 'It is quite a hackable device, made by hackers'

It's going to be optional and configurable. If you want it, you got it.. It's like scrappers in Xmbc, nothing new.

I read a moths ago that in KDE 4.11, they are going to introduce functions to implement Metadata Web-Extraction, to automagically retrieve tags to your music, video and so on, from services like imdb, last.fm, etc...

But install software in openSUSE on 3rd party repo is even more easy than add PPA, IMO. Go to build.opensuse.go, search a package, and with one-click-install, you got it. Check it out this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=hmW0156G810 And, about nes emulators, a quick search in the web gave me this result: http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Emulators/ My point is... ok, maybe Ubuntu has a greater official repository, but when I've search a tool or a program that I need or want to test in openSUSE, I've always found it in other opensuse repositories (like pacman) or in 3rd party repos, like your emulators. ;)

' there was just little software'-- have you tried to look in openSUSE build Service? What software/packages didn't you find? There's nothing that I couldn't found in openSUSE yet...

Well.. I'm in openSUSE.. and I'm running Steam also, it's not only an Ubuntu point.

All their apps/projects? Calligra, Dolphin, Marble, Gwenview, Owncloud, Plasma... are you sure? The K naming is something from the past, now you can name your app in KDE as you want...

Kubuntu 12.10 seems a good option for you if you're used to Ubuntu and debian world. But for me, openSUSE 12.2 is the best KDE distro out there. Robust, professional looking, tons of applications, obs (opensuse Build Service), good community... And the new theme for openSUSE 12.3 in KDE looks even better.. http://www.dennogumi.org/2012/11/new-theme-for-opensuse-12-3-is-now-in

You can blame KDE4 for akonadi, for nepomuk.. but for have an unique desktop? Aye you kidding? In KDE4 you could have for every Virtual Desktop a different configuration (with different wallpapers, plasmoids, etc...). Only the panel remains. More on that, you could have different Activities with differents virtual desktops too. See http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=67ZFrrM9Zro
