KDE or GNOME?

[Imaginer]

Personally, i kind of like the uncluttered nature of X and the fact that it is VERY simplified with the menu at a mouse click instead of drag to button and click. But, I don't like how i have to close a window by clicking my thumb button and hitting destroy or delete window.

But I may want to change to a desktop envirorment. Which do you guys prefer?

<- running debian

The new KDE has apparently really cleaned up the FONT issue!

blackbox or one of the imitations. I think I would go with windowmaker next, but I havent really used it much so it would take some getting used to.

KDE3 is included in Suse8, and it's very nice!

KDE3 is very nice, but I also like Gnome. Gnome 1.4 was just a bit too buggy for my taste, though.

Anyone tried Gnome 2.0 yet??

 

[MedicBob]

KDE 3.0 is what I prefer for now, I tried Gnome but really didn't like it.

Between Fluxbox and Gnome2, its tough for me. Fluxbox is quite minimal (which I like), but Gnome2 is well laid out and definitely easy to use. KDE3 is fine on my box, but it feels like there is too much installed. Of course I can remove things, but Gnome2 fits me so far.

I got the newest beta of RedHat 7.4 (or is that 8.0?) up and running today, and it's funny...KDE and Gnome look almost identical!

yea a lot of people are pissed at RH cause they look the same almost. But its RedHat's approach to get back to teh desktop market i guess

i think its awesome. i was VERY impressed when i saw that. not that i'd want to use it, but redhat obviously knows what they need to do to woo their audience. it is pretty hot lookin though

if given the ultimatum, i'd probably use kde, but either way they both seem kind of clunky and imitations of windows. use openbox! (openbox.sunsite.dk)

I find it interesting that Evolution is the default email client for KDE and Gnome in this new beta...I like Evolution a lot (it kicks the $#@$ out of Outlook), but it seems strange after years of seeing Kmail.

I use fluxbox.

I used KDE3 for a while, but it still has some bugs in RH 7.3 and it is too bloated and "Windows-like" for me.... I _really_ like fluxbox.
