A MATURE kde4? Thats an oxymoron from where I sit, and fully explains why
I've been running TDE for a couple years now.
while i'm here -- there was talk that there
was something wrong with
16.04 and that 14.04 was preferable. as my current situation
demonstrates, i'm not a big fan of upgrading distributions, and
going only to 14.04 means i get to do this all over again in two
years. so -- have the issues with 16.04 been ironed out, or is it
still to be avoided?
Are you sure the problem with 16.04 wasn't about KDE users upgrading
from a mature KDE4 to a buggy Plasma 5 rather than 14.04LTS itself?
What does Ubuntu offer a TDE user over the Debian base
on which Ubuntu
is based anyway?
Is going straight from 12.04 to 16.04 even supported? To keep trouble
to a minimum or nil probably requires going to 14.04 first.
