    Isn't it fun to explain how Linux has no standard for a freaking UI to your friends and family? No wonder even CmdrTaco has switched to OS X.

    I use evilwm :)
    no icons, minimalist WM..
    For me personally I think that icons and menu's are overrated.. I have never clicked on a "desktop icon" in linux.. that is for windows users.

    WTF ?
    HOW is my first post flamebit ?
    Can someone explain what exactly am i flaming ?
    If the stupid mods, were to actually read the post before moderating.....But then again i am not sure if RH crippled KDE enough to be non-customisable.
    I am not even accusing RH of making KDE un-customizable. I said I had no idea that i could do certain customizations untill i switched my distro. Doesn't mean RH don't allow those customization, only that i didn't bother.

    I swear, every version gets closer and closer to looking exactly like Win98...

    And don't get me started on apps written requiring KDE or GNOME libs.
