UserLinux May Go Without KDE

Posted by michael on from the can't-have-any-pudding dept.

Anonymous BillyGoat writes "For the past few days, there has been considerable debate at the UserLinux mailing list about the (proposed) non-inclusion of KDE in the distro. The KDE developers have written a proposal opposing the decision to go with GNOME as the sole UserLinux GUI, while Bruce Perens has posted a response."

    Bingo. I may be biased as a Gnome user that appreciates that Gnome just works, doesn't crash (admit it, if you've used KDE or QT apps you've seen the crashes, I have) and is simple. It's a window manager, not a platform. Linux is the platform. The apps are what I use. I just want my desktop to manage files a little, let me organize some folders and otherwise just manage windows. Gnome does this well and keeps getting faster and better at it. Gnome 2.4 rocks. Not everyone wants all the options KDE provides. There are plenty of distros that offer both.
