I don't like gnome, getting advanced stuff is overcomplicated on purpose. KDE has a nice control center.

I have completely switched over to XFCE for the past month or so, and I haven't looked back since, it's great! :D

I've used KDE, Gnome, XFCE, all the Boxes, Enlightenment and I find myself wandering back to Gnome. Its the only one that seems to do everything that I need it to do. I like KDE, but I just don't see the need to customize everything that I possibly can. Plus as a Gentoo user I find myself confused as hell over the monolithic versus split-ebuilds.

I'm growing sick of Gnome. I've been using it religiously for a while, but it's growing annoying. I'm going to give KDE another spin and see how I like it. KDE is annoying to configure, but is a decent environment. I think Gnome hit the nail on the head when it comes to configuring things. KDE applications seem better integrated, and they have a more promising future with plasma and all the new KDE4 stuff. I'll post impressions of KDE later :p.

I've heard more about GNOME, but i've never used either...

i have a couple of questions on the subject, though...

1) which would be more compatible on an older computer?
2) which would be easier to use/get accustomed to?
3) how do you install them/which linux version should you be using?

any help would be appreciated

Speaking about a troll.
KDE is a totally different desktop environment, gnome ain't better then KDE. It's a personal preference.
It's better for you, but it ain't better generally
