Re:Let's just have one Linux desktop

This might happen eventually. Even now we have only 2 widget toolkits - Qt and gtk. The problem is that Qt is proprietary and this upsets some people. Also, we should have some sort of Open Source widget toolkit that we can fall back to when trolltech goes by the wayside, though they will probably just release Qt as Open Source then and we will see some merge between the two. For now, you just select the DE you like the most and install only the minimal number of components needed to run the other one's programs.

Windows lookalike?

[Anonymous Coward]

Why is KDE3.5 looking more and more like Windows? For instance with the insertion of a medium: what do you want me to do with it? This isn't user friendly, this is idiot-proof with more steps to reach your goal. Digg had a good article on that (comparing Windows vs Linux with Bike vs Car).

Doesn't KDE = Koit Damaged Experience ?
