KDE or GNOME?

edited April 2011 in Software
I currently use KDE 3.2, and it works like a son of a bitch (woot) , but I'm thinking of moving to GNOME because I've heard it is more stable (?).

Please leave your comments.

    Personally I find KDE is excellent. And in this case, "if it isn't broke, don't fix it" seems to apply well :wink:

    KDE worked fine in SuSE..........
  • BashBash
    KDE is (in my opinion) THE GREATEST WM FOR LINUX! And for Unix OSs
  • crashacrasha
    well, in that case, I'll probably keep it. I am currently running SuSE 9.1 Personal and it seems ok, so I'll probably upgrade to KDE 3.3 and see how it goes. :)

    HaH! Another SuSE usr!

  • crashacrasha
    was that supposed to be a compliment?
  • BODBOD
    the problem i found with SuSE personal is that its missing loads of dependancies
  • nighticenightice
    Yeah, the FTP install is Pro and gets around that.
  • crashacrasha
    i would have got prof if i didnt have to dish out 60 quid to buy it :( oh well

    SuSE is "owns" (Although Novell really screwed thier site)!

    I had that happen too, but that was because I really screwed my local install server, and sometimes the mirrors they list are like

    VERY true! novell sucks
  • QQ
    Fish told me about the new site, it's aweful! The old one wasn't the best, but this one... I can't find my way around it!

    i just use the german one and use babelfish.altavista.com to translate it

    Don't use Linux. And when I have to deal with UNIX based OS's (not linux) I use BASH.

    PS...your sig....Windows XPensive.... Micorosoft is a company. Companies make money, that's how the world works. If it didn't we would all be hobos.

    HaHaHaHaH!! I Googed "SuSE" and the 2nd thing that came up was the downloads page. How you get to that from within the site I don't know.

    -Q

    PS. NM, I figured it out ::roll:
  • crashacrasha
    i know.
    you go to suse.de
    click on Privatkunden
    click on Downloads
    and in the address bar, change the /de/ to /en/
    (it should end up being http://www.suse.com/en/private/download/index.html )

    it takes you to the Novell SuSE downloads page, i dont know how to get there from suse.co.uk, though
  • JackTheStripperJackTheStripper
    You don't want to download SuSE. The personal edition isn't all that great. I used the professional edition and it's "ok" but I just heard bad things about personal.
  • crashacrasha
    which (free) version of linux could you recommend?
  • QQ
    WTFbomb? SuSE is great! I've used it and it's alot better then RH (I think).

    -Q

    PS. Then again, I used 9.1, I don't know what 9.2 is up to now. If it's as bad as their new site then I can understand ppl disliking it.

    I'd say Slackware, but it's not good for beginners if you are one.

    Just stay away from Redhat, Mandrake and Fedora Core. Most other stuff is ok
  • crashacrasha
    i'll probably get slackware if by suse packs up (i'm not too much of a beginner, ive been using various versions of linux for a year or so)
  • JackTheStripperJackTheStripper
    It's not that hard. I didn't know that much about it and turned it into a usable OS in a week
  • crashacrasha
    what the world needs is a linux distro that supports win32 .exe files (i don't mean using WINE or bochs or any emulators)
  • JackTheStripperJackTheStripper
    It's just not worth it.
  • QQ
    WINE's the best bet for now, it'll get better with time (I hope), so eventually a good number of Windows apps should be presentable.

    -Q
  • crashacrasha
    you're probably right.
  • JackTheStripperJackTheStripper
    WINE is horrible. The compatability is like Windows 95 and it's SLOOOOW. WinAMP runs like a bug and locks up when opening files.
  • QQ
    WINE site wrote:
    This is still a developers only release. There are many bugs
    and unimplemented features. Most applications still do not work
    correctly.

    They say that for a reason.

    -Q
  • crashacrasha
    i see
  • QQ
    Some stuff runs, but it doesn't help that alot of the installers (InstallShield comes to mind) write stuff that REALLY doesn't like WINE.
