Ubuntu Link of the Day…

I swear, I’m not becoming a link blogger

I just came across this story reading through some of the stories on Tuxmachines. It seems DeviceGuru has had similar experiences with Ubuntu, KDE and GNOME that practically mirror mine.

I used KDE for a very long time, and for much of that time I wouldn’t have even considered using GNOME, but for me, GNOME has become the Linux Desktop standard.

I really think there are tons of great features in KDE 4, and I know that the KDE developers will come together and get a solid release in time, I just hope for the sake of competition that it isn’t too late, and that by that time, KDE is still considered a viable alternative. I’m seeing more and more users like DeviceGuru and myself that are trying GNOME and finding that it really is a great desktop, that is (now) very customizable (compared to older releases) and simply does what we need without getting in the way.

I can’t help but wonder if die-hard KDE user Linus Torvalds himself is using KDE 4, or if he has switched to GNOME…
