Guest Syntax Posted October 23, 2002 Share Posted October 23, 2002 I've been looking at the new Gnome and KDE distributions and I'm comparing them to that of Windows and noticing the resemblence of the three. Which do you think will come out on top in the future, and why? The new gnome is featured in RedHat Linux 8.0, and you can see the Bluecurve theme in action.

dethfire Posted October 24, 2002 Share Posted October 24, 2002 I like Gnome better than KDE. Just personal preference. KDE looks look much like windows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dethfire Posted October 24, 2002 Share Posted October 24, 2002 They are different shells for Linux OSs? Or atleast they effect the interface of the OS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Syntax Posted October 24, 2002 Share Posted October 24, 2002 Gnome and KDE are just windowing systems for unix, and linux enviroments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blike Posted October 24, 2002 Share Posted October 24, 2002 Ahh ok, thanks for clearing that up. What are the advantages to each :\ i mean, whats the diff. between the two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Syntax Posted October 25, 2002 Share Posted October 25, 2002 Theres only GUI differences, the advantage is personal preference, and the fact that it's open-source. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudels Posted October 31, 2002 Share Posted October 31, 2002 Gnome and KDE both have their advantages and disadvantages. For example, Gnome has higher recommended system specs than that of KDE; but the GTK - which gnome uses for its GUIs - are portable not only across platforms but also different languages too.

DevilSolution Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 Gnome here, the winner will be whatever the most people use in the long run and this is isnt always the best usually the most universally used Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timo Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 It's remarkable that an almost ten year old thread about computer systems still sounds as if it was recent. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rktpro Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 @Devil Solution--You are spending a lot of time digging threads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainPanic Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 LOL, KDE vs. Gnome is indeed still relevant in 2011... this is a thread that's worth digging up. Excellent remark by timo (post #11). Anyway, I dislike windows... I never seem to be able to solve any problems in it. And every action you take, and every program/update you install seems to make a Windows computer slower. In my Ubuntu/Gnome computer, that's much easier, and it never gets any slower... ever. Not much experience with KDE - not enough for a comparison. The main downside of Linux is that the Open Office is still not as good as MS Office, and that (I think) is one of the main reasons that Windows sells so well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DevilSolution Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 Yeh windows is generally more user friendly too, i use gnome on ubuntu and have used KDE on slackware but theres no definate winner in my books, its good that you can use different GUI's per-say on linux though, definitely has more features than windows GUI even if its not quite as user friendly as an OS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
