Demolishing the Desktop Paradgim
- Hello World! -. This is most commonly the first post in a blog, innit?. But is it really necessary to say this?. Do I have to do it?. More than ever, yes. This first entry in my new shiny blog can potentially be read by the whole world. I don’t expect to be so popular, though.
Most importantly, I want to refer the way I’ve posted it. This time it wasn’t an spectacular thing. I’ve opened my favourite web browser, logged in WordPress and edited a new post. But, what about in a year time?. Maybe I could be doing it dragging a file, I had wrote before, from a desktop widget and dropping it in another widget, into another plasmoid. This is a new thing, and a practical one. In just a few clicks my words could be read by anyone in this planet. This is powerful too.
Obviously, I’m talking about KDE4. KDE4 is already showing how flexible can be and promise to be the most powerful desktop over the face of the earth, if it isn’t so yet. Hey!, I didn’t say I was going to be neutral.But I believe it’s true. A couple of years ago KDE started to find itself advancing toward a point where code was no more able to sustain future development so developers redid KDE, from the ground up. They demolished the old KDE, they imagined another one and they found they could build it, and now they are achieving theirs goals. They came up with the idea of a flexible desktop, just as flexible as Linux is, capable of adapting both to PC screen’s and to a mobile’s. This will be the key that will get us to a new paradigma of desktop, one with no technological frontiers.
We have yet to see how everything will shape, but I’m not only optimist about KDE’s future but excited as never before.
