Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Xubuntu It's no secret that when it comes to KDE-based distributions, Kubuntu isn't exactly the cream of the crop. With the release of Kubuntu Karmic Alpha 5, the KDE4 desktop delivered with Kubuntu received some much-needed love. Let's take a look at what the Kubuntu people are doing.

Can't you read? KPackageKit is still work in progress.
In KDE's SVN it's still in "playground". Maybe for KDE 4.4 it'll move out there.


I can read just fine. Can you? ;)

The KPackageKit GUIs are horrible beyond belief. All the KDE apt GUIs are horrible. Until someone comes along and develops something along the lines of the Synaptic GUI for KDE, they will always be horrible. Simple as that.

KPackageKit didn't even have a usability review, yet.
Yes, its GUI currently sucks. Will it stay that way? No.
Do I know that for sure? Yeah, quite.

In fact I'm currently preparing a set of mock-ups to improve KPackageKit's GUI. I'm already in contact with its main developer. I can't give you a time frame, though, He says that is time is constrained by some other project. If we're lucky, it'll be done by KDE 4.4.
