Gnome vs KDE – doesn’t matter

Posted on the May 7th, 2007 under Uncategorized by Tohir

Gnome vs KDE is a stupid debate. Usually the choice is based on what programs are available for GNOME vs KDE. Choose the one with the most programs.

THe good news is that this doesn’t matter with Ubuntu and if you use Synaptic. let’s say I’m running GNOME and want Kivio which is like MS Visio and only runs under KDE (supposedly). If you install it via Synaptic, Ubuntu will install Kivio + some of the KDE libraries it needs to run Kivio – and this under GNOME nogal.

I can’t believe how useless the GNOME vs KDE debate is. BTW, I prefer XFCE, it’s faster, and I like Thunar over Galeon
