First: It *IS* a matter of taste Second: Its not just about Gnome and KDE. There are many other Desktop Managers. That's the whole point of Linux! Not just "Free" but "Freedom of Choice" Over and above choosing a DM/DE, you can choose skins and applet libraries. You might want to consider the lightweights, such as XFCE, or the minimal-best-of-kde-gnome delivered by LXDE, the light-fantastic ("Enlightenment"), the oldies like the incredibly configurable IceWM (which can theme to look like Windows) the lightweight NextStep, and others. Third: A while back, KDE had a complete rewrite. I love the result even though it had some growing pains. Many people either don't or were so traumatized by the problems with 4.0 that they have stuck with 3.5. Gnome as just gone though a similar radical change and there are indications that many people are going though a trauma with Gnome 3.0. I didn't like the old Gnome -- I should look at the new one sometime. Fourth: There are variations on many of the above for smaller machines such as netbooks and phones and tablets Fifth: If you can articulate what you liked and didn't like about the Windows UI we can probably give more hints http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Desktop_environment http://xwinman.org/ http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/8-great-alternative-desktop-managers-for-linux/ http://www.xpde.com/ (no, really!) -- Fight organised crime... abolish the Inland Revenue. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

It sure is. The first time I ever started X it came up with an icky dirty baby diaper Gnome color scheme. As soon as I figured out how I switched to KDE, and that's been my virtually only DTE ever since.

I am struggling a bit with the Gnome interface and I really would like to stay with linux this time, so is KDE easier to manage for the user trying to get away from Microsoft?

Well, KDE to start with has it's panel (taskbar) at the bottom of the screen, and its application starter (start menu) at the left end of the panel. There's also LXDE and XFCE and others for those who aren't happy with Gnome or KDE. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."

How long ago was that? All the modern distribution - Suse, Redhat, Mandriva and Ubuntu, the "Volkswagen" (aka "People's Linux") of operating systems - can all be installed and configured for normal PC hardware without recourse to the command line. I've read that Linux is easier to install than Windows, but I've never had the opportunity to install Windows. Many bloggers describe things in terms of command line because that are writing text. Its easier and shorter to give the command line that to try and describe all the operations and fields of one or more GUI screens that do the same thing. So unless you are doing something esoteric or dealing with odd and relicrant hardware - which is what we discuss here a lot of the time - you shouldn't need to use the command line. Yes its different, but then so is using the MAC or using a Blackberry. Its easy to be fooled, just as its easy to be fooled moving between England and the USA where they speak English but everything is different. BTDT - some assumptions can get you killed. "Relicrant hardware". Yes, there is that. A lot of cheap PC or ones that have some compromise in the hardware will hang when you try to install Linux.

I am having trouble configuring the browser preference, having trouble tapping in to the existing windows network here at home, so that I can access shared stuff like printers, scanners, document folder (we all switched to Open Office years ago to help with the eventual move to linux) music library, etc.

Ask and we'll advise, but a lot of that is no more difficult than setting up another Windows PC on your network. You'll have to fill in the name of the network group -- just like on Windows. The thing is that the tools (GUI) are different. And since there are many ways of doing a GUI - depending on which desktop you are using :-) - we will probably tell you to edit the relevant config file :-) We all agree on the config file :-)

My spouse used to administer a unix system before retirement, but that was a few years ago, and I don't think she has interest in learning linux command line stuff because it would cut in to gardening time.

Which is different from UNIX command line stuff for setting up a network etc how? (Hint: unless you're doing something esoteric, it isn't.)

I don't want to start the desktop war. Just need a little help and don't want to be completely obnoxious noobie as I try again to switch platforms.

IF you want this to be independent of the desktop you choose, THEN you are going to have to deal with the command line.

But on this I disagree! Strongly. Have a look at KDE, Gnome, LXDE, XFCE, and at least a selection of simple Windowmanagers, including preferably WindowMaker, fluxbox, icewm, Enlightenment, metacity[1], aewm(++), sapphire, whatever else you can lay your hands on. Note though: many of the simple ones (at least aewm(++) and sapphire in above list) need additional tools like e.g. fspanel for "basic" functionality, WindowMaker and AFAIR icewm do not though).

Yes, do. You'll find there are different ways of configuring each; difernt file manager for each. Gnome and KDE have their own - and ideosyncraticaly different - file managers, mailers, word processors, presentation tools, spreadsheets. I read an article somewhere once that pointed out the read difference was the central authority of Windows meant that there was One True Way of doing things, each "sui generis" and "ne variartur". The same, except for colour schemes, on all similar machies (i.e. all Xp or all Server2003). Wheras Linux, like UNIX, was based on a few reular patterns. That is, if you consider an editor to be an editor, be it ed over a 1200 baud modem on a KSR33 teletype, or emacs on the console under X-Windows, or VI or GVim or Kword, or OOWriter; if you consider a spreadsheet to be a spreadhseet be it Gnumber, OOcalc or KSpread. If that's how you feel, then obviously you won't be frustrated by the differences, obviously you know each so fully you never get confused and frustrated over which you are using as a newb might. Or perhaps even when using Gnome as a desktop you still use all the KDE tools: Dolphin, Konqueror, KWord, Kcalc, Kmail, ... After all, there's nothing to stop you doing that. Linux is *that* flexible.

Easily remapping of the caps lock key to an additional control key. (Kerrigan, Richie and God placed the control key to the left of the "A" key! Who were those IBM engineers to think they could remap control to caps-lock on the IBM AT keyboard?)

Nothing at all dependent on KDE. I have Escape on the "Caps" key left of 'A', and my lower row is: Control Mode_switch Alt Space Alt Mode_switch Meta Control. (Mode_switch aka AltGr aka ISO_Level3_Switch). A simple ~/.Xmodmap does the trick (in my case a bit more). The _hard_ thing is to keep those "nice" DEs, namely KDE (and Gnome) from remapping. But AFAIK it suffices to put a 'xmodmap ~/.Xmodmap'-"script" into their autostart stuff to overwrite their limitations again. So: Check.

Window placement behavior. I prefer "Focus Follows Mouse" and being able to type in a window without it being raised to the top.

Check.

This allows you to overlap multiple windows just the way you want and to read from the one on top while entering into a sliver of one on the bottom. Focus raising windows and not being able to turn it off is probably the biggest sin of Microsoft Windows, IMHO.

I actually hate "Focus follows mouse", as I like to move the mouse-pointer out of the way, that's just me. With WMaker, "FFM" is easily configurable with WPrefs (or even default, dunno). So, you might want to have a(nother) look at WindowMaker yourself ;) There's e.g. one of the "killer" features of WMaker for me: you can "rip off" menues to make them normal windows, you can open the menues (Windows, Apps) on any pixel of "non-App-Space" (i.e. "Background" or "Desktop")... Consider: Right-Click -> Appearence -> Themes, Move "Themes" Titlebar to rip it off (and optionally close the menu itself by right-clicking anywhere on the "Desktop"), and then you have the still open "Themes" menu, you can click any entry without the menu disappearing. With e.g. KDE/Gnome, you have some extra "Config-App" showing some "Preview" of the theme, you'd always have to click "Apply" to really see effects etc. Talk about usability, eh? WMaker is _efficient_.

One of my very smart friends doesn't like either Gnome or KDE. Too much cruft. He uses FVWM-2 and Emacs. That's what the UNIX paradigm is all about: choice!

I am partial to kde, I must admit that at the beginning. I suspect that many would think it's just a little bit harder than Gnome to deal with-- a lot harder if all the plasma stuff is turned on, and if that's the case, it will look and act so different from Windows that your newbie will hate it. (I'm not a newbie, and when I looked at Kubuntu last summer, I puked!) OTOH, the MINT distro, which is an offspring of Ubuntu, but without some of the difficulties that Ubuntu presents to a Windows person, will look quite familiar, even tho it really is a Gnome display. (Get the "standard" version, not one based on Debian, or LXDE, or something else.) Another possibility is Zorin, which can be set up to look and work very much like Windows XP, altho you will have to switch between GUIs to put icons on the desktop, and then switch back to the XP-type display. It's quite easy, actually, and for a newbie who has little computer experience outside of Windows, one of these two might be the easiest to use. One other thing--the main distros that use Gnome are either upgrading to Gnome 3, which I haven't seen, or in Ubuntu's case, Unity. Both, especially the latter, have provoked a certain amount of controversy and even hate on the lists. I suspect that kde will retain more of its own nature for a longer time. To continue my disclaimer at the beginning, I am using PCLinuxOs, with kde (now 4.6.2), and with just a little tweaking, it looks and works nicely. I haven't looked at opensuse's kde in the last 18 months or so, so I can't make a direct comment on that. A previous poster had to ask how to put the suse panel--what a Windows person probably calls the system tray--on the bottom of the display, as in some other distros and Windows, but it's easy to do.

There is undoubtedly a text file that could have been altered to accomplish the same but I no longer know which file to edit.

Aye. And as far as I know KDE, you'd have to edit that file while KDE was not running, as it'd probably "update" that file on exit, overwriting your changes.

There's tons of stuff running here daily that I'd need big honking libs (e.g. strigi and what not) to do "GUIish". With the CLI, I wrote myself a script basically calling find with a ton of options (mostly involving -prune), similar to updatedb, that generates me specialized indices of some huge file-archive (local, extern and via NFS, updated as available). A small script around awk does the search part ;) And a perl-script+Module I can pipe through does sorting in a various (weird) ways, the default being parsing a date contained in the filename and sorting after that ...
