Be aware, gaint wall of spell errors rolling in xD

I just want to say, i really like KDE. I dont get why it seems like more people gnome more. I always liked KDE, even if i am/was more a windows user, i think not that its because of that, neihter i think its because of that a am used to something. I just dont get the new interface BS and how its supposed to be more efficient or whatever.

I just looked at gnome3 a few days ago, and its horrible!

http://i1-news.softpedia-static.com/images/extra/LINUX/large/gnome3tutorial-large_006.jpg Look at the clock in the middle and such a waste of screen space arround it. You only see one running application, they try to force users to use tht button to see the facey animation and the scaled windows, but actaully it takes longer to switch programs, its just stupid. And if you want to go for "internet programms" you have to roll the mouse acroll the whole screen to get into that menu to then show a bunch of oversized icons? Usability? WTF. Its not like they all say that we are ppl who are used to things and dowt want to change things, its BS!
I use the KDE classic menu I dont even liek the new kde menu, its just makes things unnessasarry complicated, i dont get it.

I like to user new things, i like change, i get used to changes fast, i used unity a time now on my laptop. But this, gnome 3 just makes no sense at all. And Unity is some ubuntu only thing what seems to be hard to port to others distributions. They like to cook there own stuff to push ubuntu and i dont like that, even if i like Kubuntu and (X)ubuntu and debian are the only distris i have ever used.

Unity is better then g3 but whats so good in having no taskbar?
Whats to great in a gobal menu on the top for every fu**ing small programm. Its just annoying. And then they make it disappear OMG, i like stylish desktops, but making everythign about style. This little scrollbars are annying too. They make be good for mobile things, But forcing them on every desktop makes no sense, to save what? 23 pixes of sceen space? And of course all for the style, **** of users in behalf of better looks thats unity.
You dont see the title of the programms that are open, if you have more windows of one application its just more time you spent on switching, its does not really make things easyier. And it seems people dont like unity or gnome 3 thats why Mint is popular. But i dont get either why to fork gnome 2 instead of just unsing KDE?

Some arrogant Guy was at my home years ago and saw me booting KDE: "Bah KDE its like Windows?" i replied something i dont remember and i told him that linus torvalds was argueing against gnome because they took out something of the printer dialog. I just said that because i read about it and i think its a nice argument that linus the inventor sais somethign against it, but it has nothign to do whit why i like KDE more.

Its completly BS that KDE is more like windows, Gnome had 3 menues instead of one menu and 2 bars by default. Both used start menus that where 1000 times better then the annoying windows ones where every app gets its own ugly little yellow folder where you never user anythign by the exe shortcur anyway from ...
Both were windows managers with max, min and close bottons and some settings. but i always felt that gnome was a slimming down everything. KDE has this window options where you can setup everthing for one particular window for example. I feel KDE has more settings presented to users by default, and gnome is a dumbed down version of a desktop. But isnt Linux all about configuring and make things how you like them? I thinks KDE fits linux better than gnome.

Maybe they pushing of gnome has somehting to do that qt was not always open source?

Just want to say that would not like to see KDE experiment like Unity or Gnome 3. The taskbar Win7 style is just perfect, in windows 7 i always setup the taskbar that way that i can see the windows titles and the programms are not just big buttons when they are running, and KDE is like this by default, thats great.

Keep it up guys dont try to invent something new what make things harder to use and annoying. I switched my laptop to kubuntu as well now. KDE will hopefully stay like this. I wish it would be the main desktop for ubuntu because sadly it always had some small ussues, some small background applicatios crashing ...

I've spent the last six months beta testing both Ubuntu and Kubuntu 12.04 and have just said good-bye to my Dell PC that served me so well for seven years. I had to install Linux somewhere so I installed Ubuntu onto my netbook and Kubuntu onto my laptop which is serving as my main PC for now.

It's been an experience running Unity, Gnome Shell and KDE each for a few days but now that the testing phase is almost over I feel so much more at home using KDE most of the time. I'm already looking forward to the Kubuntu 12.10 and KDE 4.9 releases.

I also hope that the next major version of KDE isn't a drastic change from what we have now.

I think a beautiful thing about KDE is that regardless of what its default interface is, it's easy to change it. KDE doesn't just allow me to change my interface to suit my tastes, it seems to encourage me to, and it allows me do so with relatively few clicks.
