Gnome to KDE
Posted: Wed Oct 28, 2009 4:23 pm
Hey all. I'm pretty new to the Linux universe (roughly a month in now), and I can remember when I was researching about distributions, and what I might find useful, what might be a good candidate for a beginner such as myself, and after a few days of no success, I struck gold with Mint 7 "Gloria". Not really knowing the difference between Gnome and KDE at the time, I naturally downloaded and installed the 'Main' version of Gloria, and was all smiles.
A few days ago while messing around on the internet, I stumbled upon Sabayon 5.0 KDE, and loved it. The only problem is that I'm still new to Linux all around, and the little experience I have is with Mint/Ubuntu, so Gentoo while not frustrating, was a little less appealing.
And then I remembered Mint 7 was also available in "Community Editions", a.k.a.; I am currently downloading Gloria in KDE, and I'm excited.
Basically, all of this was to say how's it going, and thank you to the Mint team for a great product that anyone can learn and use, and for working so hard to make it available in the format of our choosing as the users.
Keep it up guys, you're doing a great job, and a great service to those who are Linux gurus, and those like me, freshly migrating from Windows!
