GNOME and KDE: Seven Attractions in Each

,----[ Quote ]
| Despite all the talk about the mythical Year 
| of the Linux Desktop, somewhere in the last 
| few years, free software passed a milestone 
| without anyone noticing. At some point, after 
| years of struggling to rival proprietary 
| desktops, both GNOME and KDE have caught up in 
| features and narrowed the gap in usability. We 
| are now at a point where free software is 
| often an innovator on the desktop.

KDE a resource hog?

,----[ Quote ]
| In all tests, KDE 4.4.1 had both the highest 
| minimal memory usage and highest average 
| system memory usage, while LXDE 0.5 had the 
| lowest.

It's a very rich environment, so the weight makes sense.

10 things you might want to do in KDE SC 4.4

,----[ Quote ]
| With the release of KDE Software
| Compilation 4.4, many may feel tempted to
| give KDE Plasma Desktop (previously known
| as just âKDEâ, see Repositioning the KDE
| Brand) a try. Plasma Desktop introduced in
| KDE SC 4 behaves quite differently from
| other popular desktop workspaces, and
| without doubt many new users will feel
| slightly lost and confused the first time.
|
| Iâve gathered some tips for new users to
| get a more familiar desktop, based on
| frequently asked questions Iâve seen in
| various places. This is in no way a â10
| things you should doâ list â itâs up to you
| to decide which way you like better.
