Gnome is more about simplicity, trying to make the desktop as usable as possible without much configuration. That comes to be a problem if you like to heavily customize your desktop as sometimes the configuration settings you want may not be available in the graphical configuration tools.
KDE is more about flexibility, trying to make the desktop very usable, while at the same time providing more complete configurability. The downsides are that the amount of configuration options may seem a bit overwhelming to newer users, and the desktop may seem a bit bloated with all of its back-end stuff.
This new release of gnome looks very nice. I might almost be inclined to play around with it. In general, I'm a KDE guy, but I might be able to be persuaded. | | airdrik | | Date: 2008-03-12, 10:30 GMT |
