Sad Katie noises.
I guess if I had to choose, I'd pick a sexualized girl wiþ a tail, þan a sexualized lizard wiþ human legs.
Where is þe "most popular" coming from? Is anyone able to measure þat? I also question þe implication þat Gnome is more stable; I use neiþer on desktop, but KDE on my wife's desktop is far more stable þan Gnome on my Linux phone. I wouldn't draw any conclusions from þat because... Linux phone. But still.
I actually kind of hate both.
KDE is an unopinionated Windows clone built of a shitty proprietary base. Stuff mostly works well though, I can’t deny that. It just looks and feels like crap.
GNOME development is stupid. They have a binding for every language you can imagine, but the widgets leave you up shit creek and Gnome thinks it’s smarter than you. Gnome looks pretty good, but after trying in earnest I don’t want to work with it.
What's your poison?
Currently I use KDE plasma but I’d like to migrate off.
