Plymouth Gets Tighter Integration With GDM, X

Nowhere in GNOME does it say you *must* change the settings. Point?

In GNOME, you either are not given the opportunity to change the settings or you must install Gconf and mess around with it. In KDE, all the settings are right there in the Systemsettings program.

Nowhere in KDE does it say that you *must* change the settings. If the defaults work for you, then by all means leave them. It is just good to have them there for people who would like to change them.

Most people I noticed tend to fixate themselves on KDE's superior customization options. That really gets you nowhere. There are far more interesting features that KDE has over GNOME in the desktop area.

Most beginners and average users simply want a desktop they can work on. Not everyone is interested in changing colors or widget styles. For that GNOME does a pretty good job.

GDM, GDM, GDM. All anyone cares about these days is GNOME.

congratulations, you got it!

GNOME is just as configurable as KDE. The thing is that in KDE it's available from the start (and easily accessible), while in GNOME you usually have to install extra packages or mess around in gconf.

True. And that doesn't sound easy for beginners, or does it? So why is then GNOME promoted as "easy to use" desktop in "easy to use" distributions such as Ubuntu?

And what about KDM? Why are KDE users always left behind?

[thefirstm]

The only thing wrong with GNOME, as I see it, is the complete and total lack of configurability (at least compared to KDE). Add that, and I will give GNOME another chance.

Nothing wrong with GNOME. All they need to do is fix their damn panels and menu. As is, KDE is a far better desktop, though gtk apps. are for the most part superior to qt ones.
