Really looking at distrowatch to try to measure what desktop environment is most used is just dump...

Also note that openSUSE has a large Gnome user base but is counted wholly as KDE here.
In any case, this is not meant to be an accurate statistic (there are no accurate statistics where Linux is concerned). It's merely an indicator of relative popularity - and all distrowatch caveats apply here.
It's also an attempt to dispell the baseless notion that KDE is used more than Gnome.

I see the KDE devs still can't help themselves from shipping broken functionality.
They have "support" for OSX widgets on the Plasma desktop but it still crashes the whole Plasma session when you use it.
I wonder if they can appreciate that shipping bits that don't work properly just tarnishes the image of the KDE desktop.

You like Gnome because you are an idiot and since Gnome is made for idiots (I like to quote the founder, creater and maintainer of the OS kernel it is running on) you like it

Konsole 4 uses the KDE4 foundation for which the driver you used to compare the performance is lacking acceleration feature for technology in used in the KDE4 foundation.

What I said was a state of matter that you can see for yourself if you look at speed, stability, compatibility and features. Period. You BS stops right here, and right now!
Fact. More people use gnome.
It is true that numbers dont speak quality (or windows would be king, and kind of is unfortunately), But its a fact we just cant ignore.
Myth. KDE is more functional.
Just because you can make one environment look like another. or make it pretty. Or do this and do that. If your desktop environment can cook pancakes or give you oral sex. Different people have different needs.
Originally posted by BlackStar View PostSorry, it was not me who mentioned gnome-terminal first. However, it was you who couldn't accept that Gnome might perform better than KDE in some things.
The reference to xterm was tongue in cheek because, frankly, who the hell cares whether xterm runs faster or slower on KDE3 vs KDE4? Or konsole for that matter?
Personally, I just wanted to see how long would it take for someone to mention Gnome once I bashed KDE4 (without mentioning Gnome at all). Think of it as an insipid social experiment on the mechanics of trolling.
Considder your curiosity a hindered social development problem. You, because you are a troll, would make an interesting social experiment instead.
It's also an attempt to dispell the baseless notion that KDE is used more than Gnome.

Well here is the problem with Distrowatch's "rankings". One the big ideas behind it is that it is a central page where people can go to see what the "other" distros are doing. I for one rarely check the openSUSE page as I already have all the info I need on it from openSUSE's mailing lists, forums, irc, bugzilla, etc. What I do use it for though is for check out items like "what kernel is xyz distro using? what features does xyz have?" etc. So by it's rankings I'm anything but a openSUSE user.

Lol @V!NVENT.
@deanjo: distrowatch is not worse than any other internet "poll", like the ones in phoronix, linuxquestions or even google trends. Not better either.
Even so, you cannot deny that Gnome-centric distros seem to generate more interest than KDE-centric distros. Or do you have some evidence that this image does not reflect reality? (which, btw, seems to agree with distrowatch in relative numbers.)
