  2. Gnome or KDE by GonzoDave · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    I'm planning on switching to Linux, despite the things I'll have to give up (ie IE's speed and excellent history, the availability of reliable Windows drivers for my hardware and the versatility and stability of WMP).
    Anyway, I know many Linux distros put plenty of redundant content on the CDs, presumably to hide the fact that it's a non professional product. I'm not keen on using more than one GUI, so my question for you Linux gurus is-should I use Gnome or KDE? Which one is faster and more function filled?

  3. Gnome is dying... by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    Somebody just had to say this. We all know the truth though. Gnome is dead and its getting rotten as we speak. Oh well, it was a piece of shit anyways.

  4. Waugh ? == Most hated ! by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    Jeff Waugh one of the MOST hated person in the GNOME community. Some sort a Adolf Hitler with NAZI methodes. He was responsible for MORE people and developers leaving the GNOME project than anyone else did. Sorry but this guy is everything else than a KEY factor in GNOME. He is a fucking dumbass and simply hated.

    KDE is uber-customizable. Gnome is focusing on KISS usability issues.

    [grin] I think you've got that backwards, but whatever makes you happy...
