Replacing KDE applications

“Finding replacement apps: It’s like
switching from Windows to Linux all over again

“It feels like I just did this, even though
I’ve been running Linux as my primary OS since
around 2002. When I decided to stop using KDE recently, I was
surprised to find how many KDE applications on which I had become
dependent, and how little idea I had what to use as alternatives.
Some of them are little and therefore easily replaced, but others
that are more full-featured have been quite a challenge.
Here’s a sampling of the ones
I’ve been working on lately.

“Konqueror File Manager

“This one is quite possibly the hardest one
I’ve had to replace. Anyone out there who has
grown accustomed to the power and flexibility of Konqueror File
Manager can attest that it’s very difficult to
settle on something else once you’ve used it
for any length of time.”
