[Poll] Kde VS Gnome

[g-n-t]

wow, i was just looking for metacity themes.i cant find a single one that doesnt look like ass. system-g is prebably the nicest one, but it doesnt match the rest of my dtop.

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. :)

[fAlCoNNiAn]

gnome, KDE is too bloated.

My one problem with gnome are the menu's. I have't found a way to edit them and there is to many extera apps and other program I install that I want to so up.

[Icco]

flux is great, but it seems to be missing some things that i need. Gnome works great, expecially on a 1024x768 machine. But hey im biased, ive always like gnomes.

How does one edit the menus in KDE? Or are you referring to Flux (or some othe DE)?

[g-n-t]

kmenuedit

use that

Edit: or right click on the k and press edit :laugh:

[n3wt]

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

[halodark]

Gnome - I like it more because it looks clean and simple. I don't care for bubbly aqua looking things.

[Deadpool2k]

KDE! But i want to trash kicker and get a dock for it.

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).

I figured out I'm a gnome user now

i know most of you arent used to hearing this, but kde 3.4 in fedora is faster than gnome. :woot:

[Seth]

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]

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.

[Tech Star]

I like them both!

[kaffra]

i like gnome, looks nicer to me. Im not much of a heavy linux user, so i dont know what features im missing from KDE

I'd love to see those benchmarks :laugh:

[Hardi]

Just installed kde 3.4 to my ubuntu ... and damn .. it really is faster then gnome 2.10 :laugh:

But i'm not ditching Gnome yet :p

[g-n-t]

no benchmarks, its just faster. and looks a helluva lot better too.

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?

Nice theme :p However, I found out that I have to run "gnome-settings-daemon", that way Gtk apps. will apply gnome settings and won't look bad :p I don't know why I have to do this, from Gnome, kde apps look OK (except some like skype or the menu in opera)
