Maybe those blue peaks were there from the beginning, and you just didn't pay attention? That you also went on a trip, maybe your system collected dust, meaning maybe your fans are clogged or somesuch.

@Wass Don't be so saddened. You might not be in total agreement, but at least the guys are explaining the reasons (it isn't always the case). Have a look at a related issue. It's a quality post on this sort of issue.

Thanks for the response. I also agree that YaST was far more advanced (in terms of features) than anything the Debian world had to offer. You are likely not so inclined to go take another look, but I think you'll find Software Center quite good. I don't know about the multilib stuff.

@gabe There used to be an option which was accessible from right-click menu named Copy file to Left/Right (or something along those lines). I used this feature quite a lot, and I'm too lazy to investigate what happened.

+1 for suggesting Kompare; It seems better than the Kdiff3, at least for my use.

@Mic The other Answers didn't offer the top-like interface as I requested, and if they do, they didn't reply back when I queried.

@Mic This Question, best distro for KDE, isn't a good Question at all. It's vague. It should have been more specifc, as in what is the OP actually interested in (EG: speed, large support base, minimal package selection) for it to be better, such that it's no longer a poll. That's what I strive to do (give specifics) when I ask these software-rec kind of questions.

@Michael Looking at one example as an example, only one of the 4 Answers was actually correct.

@Sor I was doing a diff of just 2 files, no wonder I wasn't seeing what you were seeing ;)

@Sor You sure? I'm using version 0.9.95 and I don't find "merge from A to B". I checked under Merge menu.

@Michael I was more interested in why you are not a huge fan.

@Michael OTOH I find the useful. Getting a recommendation is much better than searching what's available from the distro repos, read the description, and find you are using some beta software that's unstable and/or lacks features. It happened for me way too often, wasting my time.

@kas I just tried now, and I noticed that it doesn't offer what I need from such a tool (check the note I added to the Question).
