Is GNOME or KDE Better for New Users?
,----[ Quote ]
| One argument I hear is how much KDE 4.x looks
| like OS X or Windows 7, while GNOME feels
| more like something from the 90's. Out of the
| box, a few years ago, this might have held
| some truth to it.
|
| These days however, GNOME is highly
| customizable and looks very professional out
| of the box. Taking the experience further,
| you can even alter the GNOME theme in three
| easy clicks. Four, if you count the new theme
| you've selected.
|
| I also appreciate the fact that from the same
| three clicks, I can download ready-made
| themes if those provides are simply not
| cutting it.

[News] Yet Another GNOME Versus KDE Debate
Someone is *Wrong* On The Internet
,----[ Quote ]
| What prompted this thread, you might ask?
| Well, I was reading Michael Read's recent
| KDE4: It hurt, but did it work? article, and
| was tickled by the fervor of the anti/pro
| camps surrounding the great KDE vs. Gnome
| debate. Did the anti-KDE flamers win over
| any converts to whatever was being claimed as
| a superior desktop environment? I doubt it.
| Did it make for entertaining reading? I
| think so.

KDE vs. GNOME: DVD Tools and Desktop Design
,----[ Quote ]
| DVD tools are more important on Linux than on
| most operating systems. While Windows or OSX
| users rarely burn CDs or DVDs except for an
| occasional backup, for many Linux users,
| burning a Live CD to investigate a
| distribution is a common task.
|
| Similarly, although the users of other
| operating systems may extract audio or
| visuals from a CD, all the really large local
| content libraries I have seen tend to be on
| Linux. What is an occasional convenience to
| others are standard tools in the free and
| open source lifestyle.
|
| For this reason, DVD tools are well-
| represented in both KDE and GNOME. On both
| desktops, earlier tools like X-CD-Roast that
| are formidable in their options have been
| replaced with more user-friendly default
| tools: K3b for KDE, and Brasero for burning
| and Sound Juicer for audio ripping for GNOME.
|
| All these tools perform their basic tasks
| well enough for most users. However, what is
| striking is how clearly each of them
| demonstrates the design philosophies of the
| desktops with which they are associated.
