For me, it's been pretty hardware dependent. The current version of KDE is pretty demanding on the graphics system if you use all the bells and whistles, and if the graphics driver has some problems (cough *radeon* cough) it can end up being slow and jumpy. I am pretty hard on my laptops, and replace one about every six months. I treat them as commodities and don't pay a lot of attention about which graphics card, etc. is installed -- I buy the cheapest upper-mid-range consumer box that I can get, usually by going to the local Staples/Office Depot/box store and offering to buy their demo box of the most recently discontinued model at a discount. What I've found is that Gnome seems to muddle along better when the graphics driver isn't really tuned, and KDE is more fun when it is. billo On Wed, 1 Sep 2010, hard wyrd wrote:
I couldnt have said it better :). It boils down to personal preference. Depending on my mood of the week (or month), I'd switch interfaces. Right now I'm on Gnome-Shell. Been through GNOME, KDE, XFCE, fluxbox, name-your-interface-here. And spare me the "Gnome Shell is crap" litany because I will have none of it. It's _my_ PC, _my_ installation and _my_ preference. As Jerry said, it's all about personal taste. Your PC, your installation, your preference. Take other people's interface suggestions and preference with a grain of salt. It might work for them, but might not work for you. :) On Tue, Aug 31, 2010 at 7:48 PM, Jeremiah Bess <[email protected]> wrote: Ahh the never ending KDE vs Gnome debate. I have a better suggestion, try each out yourself and make up your own mind. It's amazing how well you can make decisions for yourself without depending on stirring up huge debates about what is best. Best for you is not best for me. BTW, KDE rules. Jeremiah E.
