The KDE Desktop was developed t oprovide an interface to Linux &
other UNIX Systems & can compete with MacOS or Windows with ease on user friendliness.
There is an advantage of KDE over GNOME beacuse it is more user friendly and can perform almost
all the tasks that GNOME can. It has several icons on the desktop to provide quick access to
different tasks. Here we can create folders to store our Music, Images,
Packages,etc. We can also define which package will be used to run/open a particular type of
file.
We can change Wallpapers, Themes & Screensavers (a lot of cool screensavers come with the
Linux Package.).
We can also change the icons to remind us that it is important or simply for better
management.
We can create documents, add music, or download images from camera & store it in our home folder
or
any subfolder, The home folder is not accessable to any user except the root user, so we can
safely
store our work there. We can move, rename or delete the files. windows can be rolled up by double
clicking
on the title bar, they can also be minimised, maximised or closed. There is also a neat feature
it is called the workplace switcher, using it we can switch between four workplaces.
Workplaces
are great way to have multiple windows & still keep our desktop uncluttered.
