RadiationXP Posted March 9, 2005 Share Posted March 9, 2005 gnome on redhat or fedora... ortherwise, no gnome.. I tried to use gnome on Suse and it wasn't too fun.. It seems like Redhat/Fedora was built for gnome and optimized gnome a little, and so its perfect.. However, KDE is just annyoing.. too much flash, too much craziness, its not clean and happy and productive. but anything is better than windows. :) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/284874-poll-kde-vs-gnome/page/4/#findComment-585592364 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Icco Posted March 14, 2005 Share Posted March 14, 2005 flux is great, but it seems to be missing some things that i need. Gnome works great, expecially on a 1024x768 machine.

n3wt Posted March 15, 2005 Share Posted March 15, 2005 The Gnome menu is something you can browse to with nautilus if I remember correctly, so it isn't hard to edit.

halodark Posted March 15, 2005 Share Posted March 15, 2005 Gnome - I like it more because it looks clean and simple. I don't care for bubbly aqua looking things.

[idkfa] Posted March 16, 2005 Share Posted March 16, 2005 I didn't vote, as imho it's a tie: Gnome looks nicer, is much more organized, has nifty things like dbus-support etc, but it's a bit unstable (at least for me, i don't know why) KDE is very consistent and has a lot of features and everything is nicely integrated, but it isn't very organized (program- and menu-wise).

Seth Posted March 17, 2005 Share Posted March 17, 2005 KDE 3.4 is amazing and I can't wait for Kubuntu to work better so I can ditch Gnome. Gnome is nice and clean, but KDE gives me all the features I want.

mr_daemon Posted March 17, 2005 Share Posted March 17, 2005 I am in love with the K. I used to be gnome powered for a while, but since I switched 100% to Linux last year for I no longer had Windows requirements, I have been using KDE. I think it is the most complete and well integrated solution available. It provides every single little thing I coud think of, and is well integrated. And the second you add gtk-qt, everything looks unified.

Julius Caro Posted March 21, 2005 Share Posted March 21, 2005 KDE 3.4 is amazing and I can't wait for Kubuntu to work better so I can ditch Gnome. Gnome is nice and clean, but KDE gives me all the features I want. 585627085[/snapback] That's exactly why I don't like KDE too much :p I get lost in the menus and the control panel :p But I like how 3.4 looks. I don't think its really faster, but the look n feel helps a lot :p (For example, my windows is slow crap and it can take ages for an app. to run... but I still think that windows 'feels' faster than gnome). In ubuntu (hoary) Firefox looks ugly using KDE... does anybody know how to change this?
