I use chromium, which does not depend on any database.
fair enough, you know what I had to do when using Amarok 1.4? I had to
install MySQL because Amarok was unable to handle my music collection with
sqlite.
no problems here (maybe my music collection is just not large enough :)
ok, will try that, at some point.
I'm aware of this, didn't try so far, however, after the horrible koffice 2.x
experience...
FF&TB are
slow, ugly + bloated, so I won't use them (anymore).
out of curiosity: which browser are you using then? I am not aware of any
browser which does not come with a database. Nobody complains that Amarok uses an embedded MySQL.
amarok-trinity uses libsqlite3, not mysql. then came the
point where I decided to have my $HOME as a symlink to a
directory on another physical partition.
this worked ok for kde3/trinity/icewm/e17... but not for kde4: immediate,
unrecoverable akonadi crash.
just ridiculous.
If you move sockets around, you should know what you do. Given that it's a
bad idea to use symlink if you could use a loop mount which would have
worked. That's I'm sorry a user issue.
sure, and in fact, this is what most linux users I know personally, did:
switch to TB or something else, or even abandon kde as a whole, as I did.
at that point, I gave up on kde (which was my
favourite desktop until
then from the 1.4.x days).
Please see: you complain about a PIM suit which has nothing to do with the
"desktop". You could just have continued to use the KDE desktop with other
software for PIM. instead of quanta+ you can use kdevelop with php
support.
this is not (yet) available for debian, AFAIK.
or a fast,
simple office suite (koffice 1.6.3) which does just
what I need without beeing dead slow or even corrupt my data (which
koffice 2.x has done more than once).
You might have missed the news: there is no Koffice 2.x any more. The
community forked and there is now Calligra which I have heard works fine. But feel free to continue using KOffice 1.x which to
my knowledge does not
even support ODF.
it does.
not to all recent specs, but enough for my use cases.
I can read my files with OO/LO or even MSoffice w.o. problems.
