I began with KDE, but it became a so puzzled desktop (shadows of closed programs used to stay over the desktop) while the very-clear Gnome (Ximian) Desktop attracted me. And I have heard good news about the new Gnome 2 and Nautilus 2.x that my intention to go back to try out KDE again is gone. First, I choosed SuSE because it has a good installer, modular updates as well KDE desktop (it appeared like a very good GUI to substitute Windows). So, I discovered Nautilus (and the UnScalable Gorilla theme) using Gnome. With Ximian everything seems organized. But I'll give KDE another, so fast as I can make it run again (I don't know what happened with KDE after reinstalling my (xsis.rpm) vga driver). I suggest you to try both. a. Gedi escreveu:
Hi all,
Appologies if anyone considers this a tad annoying, but I rather enjoyed the post about which email client people preferred. Whilst reading one of the latter ones I saw this snip posted by Kevin in reference to Kmail:
<snip> How well do you like it when you run it in KDE, rather than in GNOME? <snip>
which prompted me to wonder which desktop environment people use/prefer.
I have always used KDE, but am now considering having a crack at Gnome or maybe something else dependant on the results from this post.
So, down to the question.....which desktop environment do you prefer and what are your reasons :)
Thanks
Gedi
