John1232 Posted April 3, 2007 Share Posted April 3, 2007 Hey AcePlayer, you might try Kubuntu. It is ubuntu with KDE instead of GNOME and looks a lot better/easier. It is part of the Ubuntu project so everything you read about for ubuntu, you can do in kubuntu. Enjoy.

(MoC) Posted April 6, 2007 Author Share Posted April 6, 2007 Well, as I obviously said, KDE owns. I can't wait for the final version of KDE 4 to come out this fall. I now just play around with the alphas Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/37330-your-favorite-nix-gui/page/2/#findComment-341445 Share on other sites More sharing options...
/es Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 I'm a Gnome guy, but I do use KDE on my old PIII 1Ghz I have at home. I like fluxbox as a WM too. Beryl/Compiz/AIGLX/XGL are all slightly overrated. The features are all nice and all, but it's just eye candy.

erbic Posted April 9, 2007 Share Posted April 9, 2007 Kubuntu (KDE), but I installed the GNOME package into Kubuntu so I could play around with it. I like both, but KDE is prettier. GNOME seems like it's more about practical use, and less about visual effects, while KDE manages to balance the two nicely. Can't wait for KDE4... might just install an alpha for the hell of it.

mullet12345 Posted April 9, 2007 Share Posted April 9, 2007 I use GNOME. Mainly out of habit. Originally I was a KDE guy, but I got sick off the effects and eye candy slowing down my very old machine. Now I'm used to GNOME i doubt I'll change. Although i often use IceWM on older machines or test machines as it's so simple and fast.

Azurael Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 CDE FTW! Not. If I'm using an OS other than OS X or Windows with an X implementation, I usually go for Gnome, but on some of the slower machines I have to use, fluxbox tends to be my choice of the day. That said, it's uncommon for me to be using a GUI at all on anything other than my own machine - most of my Un*x sysadmin work is done in emacs trhough an SSH session.

This "users are idiots, and are confused by functionality" mentality of Gnome is a disease. If you think your users are idiots, only idiots will use it. I don't use Gnome, because in striving to be simple, it has long since reached the point where it simply doesn't do what I need it to do. Please, just tell people to use KDE. Linus so thats what i gotsta say. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/37330-your-favorite-nix-gui/page/2/#findComment-380654 Share on other sites More sharing options...
apowerr Posted June 9, 2007 Share Posted June 9, 2007 I voted KDE because its really easy to use and the layout just makes sense. When Im using a Linux distro with KDE as the Desktop Environment I dont have to sit and think "Ok.. Im using KDE now.."

Alessandro17 Posted June 10, 2007 Share Posted June 10, 2007 When my sister came to see me in Leeds, in July 2004, I created a user account for her, with KDE as the default. She had never used Linux before. She told me that KDE felt immediately familiar. She didn't like Gnome very much. Before Ubuntu, it was common wisdom that KDE was the best desktop environment for Windows switchers. I am still of that opinion. Besides I still find KDE the most feature rich and intuitive DE out there.

aliquis Posted June 10, 2007 Share Posted June 10, 2007 KDE If I had and wanted to spend infinite time configuring stuff I would use FVWM, some of the window managers which actually MANAGES windows and just doesn't look fancy (ratpoison and similair) might be nice to. But KDE is that I prefer. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/37330-your-favorite-nix-gui/page/2/#findComment-381442 Share on other sites More sharing options...
