KDE on Mac OS X has a long history, but is seeing new life in KDE4 and Qt4/Mac by bringing native KDE4 applications to the Mac OS X desktop.

• KDE 3

• KDE 4

  KDE 4 on Mac OS X has been approaching a stable state. It can currently be considered a beta.

• Goals for KDE on Mac OS X

  Mac OS X is already a desktop environment in the sense that it provides window management, application launching, etc. The goal of KDE on Mac OS X is to provide the rich frameworks and applications in KDE to a wider audience.

  In KDE 4, we intend to have:

  • Solid hardware integration
  • Phonon support (already finished, thanks to Trolltech)
  • Strigi integration with Spotlight
