neocytrix Posted March 29, 2004 Report Share Posted March 29, 2004 (edited) I like KDE way better than GNOME. Edited March 29, 2004 by neocytrix Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RadioEar Posted March 29, 2004 Report Share Posted March 29, 2004 KDE is ok, it's most like M$windows but looks better. Learned some programming at the command prompt with Microware 0S9, and then M$ using Borland C++, Visual Basic for Windows and Visual Basic for DOS. After a while got use the gui environment I guess, it sure makes a person lazy. Anyway... enough rambling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paul Posted March 29, 2004 Report Share Posted March 29, 2004 and before BVC has a chance to argue that XFCE isn't a DE .... "paul puts his fingers in his ears, and starts singing" la la la la la I'm not listening to BVC :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pierre Baco Posted March 29, 2004 Report Share Posted March 29, 2004 My favorite desktop environment ? Mmmh, a clean desk in front of a windows without curtains. No phone, no paper, except a good book. Maybe a glass of Bordeaux on my right (after 11:30AM), an ashtray on my left (anytime), or a cat (relax, not for the same usage...) And concerning my PC desktop, KDE/Aqua is the default choice. Gnome looks really nice (and smart), but I never had time to fix the (very) little problems I had with it, so I use "default' KDE (and the command line prompt when I temper with XFree...). But good old "bare" b&w X is fun too... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghil Vertefeuille Posted March 29, 2004 Report Share Posted March 29, 2004 hmm...if I have to use a DE (I use Fluxbox for the most part now) I use KDE, but I'll try Gnome when 2.6 is out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bvc Posted March 30, 2004 Report Share Posted March 30, 2004 (edited) http://www.mandrakeusers.org/index.php?sho...opic=12797&hl=# :woops: For anyone to be rt you'd have to find an established definition of Desktop Environment (as if there is such a thing).http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&ie=UTF-...G=Google+Search Reading this helped me remember that it does have it's own filemanager. I knew about the panel apps, and mouse/keyboard config but forgot about the useless filemanager. So, I appologize! I'd agree it is far enough along to be considered a DE! Andrewski has a good point though about it riding on gnome. Sorry. Edited March 30, 2004 by bvc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shautaniemi Posted April 2, 2004 Report Share Posted April 2, 2004 I checked "Other" tho' I use KDE. I used to use IceWM, but for some odd reason it stopped working. I've got everything installed but when I log in and try to pick Ice, I get a blank screen for a couple of seconds, and then I'm back loggin' in again.. Therefore I use KDE, but my FAVORITE de is Ice. -suzi h AMD Athlon XP 2500+, MDK 9.2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crock Posted April 2, 2004 Report Share Posted April 2, 2004 I used to be a Gnome advocate, but managing themes was quite difficult. Since I moved to KDE, everything works, especially my beloved themes! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdemers883 Posted April 5, 2004 Report Share Posted April 5, 2004 I'm kinda torn between the two. I find that both will allow me to do whatever I need to do. They are both fast, and although they look different I like the looks of both. Sometimes I use Gnome and sometimes I use KDE, I guess it depends on what mood I'm in :P Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arthur Posted April 5, 2004 Report Share Posted April 5, 2004 A home is not a home without a GNOME. Gdesklets are an abuse of system resources and I love them. I'm gonna install fluxbox soon. I'll also try KDE with superkaramba, but I'm a gnome user for now. KDE is too..windows-like. But I'll customize mine so it won't look like that M$ crap anymore. Any tips?

Ghil Vertefeuille Posted April 5, 2004 Report Share Posted April 5, 2004 open yourself a Child panel, and play with it :P I use Fluxbox often, but I think it's as advanced as I want him to be...guess I'll just have to wait for the 1.0 version...Meanwhile, I can't decide myself between KDE and Gnome...KDE is cool and all but I don't like the general feeling of it but Gnome is displaying all with a feel of "bigness"..by the way if someone can give me advice on how to remove this big feeling, it would be cool....
