For the linux users out there: which do you normally go with? I recently wanted to give KDE a go and installed the Kubuntu package through Synaptic, and so far.... meh. KDE feels a lot more like Windows, and it's very pretty, but it has a lot of graphical glitches, and some of the software it installed just annoyed the crap out of me (Konqueror, as well as every other piece of software that starts with K...)

It took me freakin AGES to figure out what file had to be edited (or, in this case, created) to turn off tap-to-click for synaptic touchpad devices on laptops, whereas in gnome it's in the system interface and is a simple click.

The main thing I like about KDE vs Gnome so far is that the sound slider on the top of my laptop in gnome gives me an interface that shows it changing the volume, but it has no impact on the actual system volume, and if I slide it to nothing or hit the mute button next to it it does nothing, but in KDE it's changing the real system volume, and sliding it to 0% mutes the system.


Each has their advantages and disadvantages, I haven't spent enough time with KDE to make a good observation yet though. From what I've read though, KDE uses proprietary software and isn't really on Linus Torvald's good side anymore, for whatever that's worth.

What about you!?
