  1. KDE/GNOME wars... by Brendan+Byrd · · Score: 0, Troll

    I doubt Linux will have acheived world domination by 2004, though. As was mentioned, KDE and GNOME aren't quite newbie-friendly enough yet (though I think KDE is 98% there and GNOME is in the 75-80% range). I used to use KDE, and though I prefer GNOME, I do admit KDE is more ready for newbie users. However, I'm using Debian 2.2, so I don't have the latest version of GNOME (no Nautilus, etc.), when 3.0 goes stable, we'll see how far it's come.

    Geesh...why does everybody have to bother mentioning stupid interfaces like KDE/GNOME? Sure, they are great widget sets, but my god...those horrible window managers! Ditch that and install Enlightenment or AfterStep or WindowMaker! Why must everybody try to lure newbies into using those god-awful KDE/GNOME WMs?
