ReplyDeleteI am pretty sure it hogs the memory resources since any KDE apps brings chunk of other related apps into the system which will run in the background even if its NOT REQUIRED by Gnome 3 shell.
ReplyDeleteIf you like KDE plasma widgets so much why not try KDE desktop completely instead its so much better looking then gnome.
BTW there exists lots of ways to install google widgets or screenlets on gnome they probably run much similar without taxing the system.
I know what you mean, Anonymous. I made the switch about a year ago and I kicked myself for not doing it sooner. I love that this combination is even possible. It's a great way to help people discover that KDE4 isn't the piece of crap it was when it was first announced.
ReplyDeleteIs there a way to do this in fedora? scriptengine is present, but not the desktop as far as i see
ReplyDeleteum this didn't work for me it came up saying 404 not found the whole time.
