Ok guys, what do you use primarily?

I started using KDE by default, but ive been playing a little with Gnome, and its certainly growing on me! not sure i like the main taskbar being at the top, but if i dont im sure theres a way to change it.

(Sorry theres only a couple of options, these are the main ones i think)

You forgot to create the actual poll so people could vote, even if they didn't post. I use Gnome mainly, which is on my Debian box at work. I have a number of Linux virtual machines in VMware so it just depends on whether they are running KDE or Gnome.

EDIT: My bad. Forget what I said about the poll not being there. I didn't scroll up.

 

i dont think it was there to start with. i posted it then the poll page came up!

 

I am a Gnome user. I've never really liked the KDE interface because it always takes a lot of work to make it easy on my old eyes, plus there have been problems with the way a lot of fonts display in KDE too. I can have it set to the same font size and display resolution as Gnome, and many of the fonts in KDE look so small I have constant eye strain using it.

Maybe KDE has figured it out by now, I don't know, I'm just so used to Gnome at this point I don't think I'll switch. I like the Nautilus interface for a graphical presentation of the file system better than I like Konqueror too. It's the font thing with this again too.

As to Gnome having the task bar at the top, well, I really like it. When I log onto a Windows machine anymore I'm constantly going to the top left corner of the screen to start applications....

 

I use KDE, mainly because I don't use the linux machines much so I tend to stick with the default.

 

ive moved my windows task bar to the top to mimic my gnome too, lol

 

going with KDE too folks, but erm.....no particular reason not to use gnome

 

I use Gnome basically because its not as bloated as KDE and its very functional

Sometimes I switch to XFCE (Blindingly fast, Good for people that want low resource on slower computers) which is also rather functional and good looking

Having a bar at the top of the screen dunne bother me on Gnome, I rig it with useful shortcuts, CPU/Network/Load/HDD Monitors, and a Commandline Input, Comes in really really useful and saves me going though all the menus, The Right click menu on XFCE is also a interesting feature =)

(By the way, if you want to try KDE/XFCE on Ubuntu, Install either Kubuntu-desktop or Xubuntu-dektop Packages using Synapic or Apt-get)

Having Gnome AND Kde installed at the same time would just be overkill Still I do use a fair few KDE apps here on Gnome, Specially Amarok.

Ive Simply just got comfortable with Gnome
