KDE 4.10 has been released, and I have upgraded my old desktop computer that sits on a shelf in our home server room and runs a NoMachine server to have KDE 4.10.0 on it.
First attempt: migrate my existing KDE 4.9.5 desktop environment.
First result: failure. Basically nothing related to kontact/KDEPIM works after this.
Second attempt: delete everything kde related from that home folder (basically ~/.kde*, ~/.local and ~/.config) and try again.
Second result: after going through the “wizard”, kontact/KDEPIM still needs too many additional steps to be actually usable, but after that it sort of works. I have no idea how much of it will still work if ~ is on a nfs drive, though.
Overall opinion: I hope that KDE 4.10 has matured enough once openSUSE 12.3 rolls around with it as the default KDE desktop.
4.10 is the best version of KDE ever, it is the best desktop ever.
I suggest you try on a local machine , not from an NX server.
If you are using NX fulltime I suggest you run LXDE or something similar.
Its not just me that thinks it is good…

I had to swich akonadi to mysql from sqlite3 because it wasn’t functioning for me after upgrade to akonadi 1.9.0. After that, it is back to normal for me. I do use Gentoo, not SUSE so I’m not sure if my experience can apply to this.
There was some roughness with the display for a bit, transparency failed to apply on konsole, but after a while it reverted back to normal. It wasn’t an easy transition to be sure.
