Less and less? No, they're bringing more to the community and the community is free to leverage this.
it pains me to see that the top 2 DE in linux are absolute fail.
kde looks like it was made by dyslexic retarded children with crayons that put big ass icons all over the place, icons menus text all grabbled up in a big pile of fuck.
gnome was made to run on non existing tablets
unity is a fork of fail + lenses of cancer
I believe there are only 3 DE worth using and those are the ones the top distros should be packaged with:
LXDE (with 20 minutes you can make it look good)
Mate
Cinnamon
KDE is failing for sure. Gnome? No. Welcome to oct 2012 the month of laptops gaining touch support. Driven by the Win8 release many laptops are getting touch interfaces on top of normal input methods like keybords and mice/touchpanels. Yup thats right, if your DE cant do touch besides keyboards and mice then the DE is old fart crapware belonging to the past.
Lucky enough for Gnome they didnt buy into the idiotic idea of a clear distiction between touch and workstation. KDE can keep their backward DE on old hardware and keep smelling like the 90s. Im sure even the WM will stay oldfartish and deny the users a good resolution changing mechanism.
No way funkSTAR, KDE and Qt Qt Qt Qt Qt will come and kill you while you are asleep anyway (and your family too), there's nothing you can do to survive.
Talking about crashing will not make it more true, you know.
KDE simply does not crash nowadays, period. There was a rough period around the time 4.0 launched, but that's ancient history now.
IMHO, it is the most stable, most mature, and most feature-full desktop environment for Unix. It's not even close. Red Hat and Ubuntu chose a different environment for political reasons many years ago, so many new users who started using Linux recently are not aware of this, because they have never really tried it, but it's always been a great environment with great software.
When I saw the tittle I really hoped it was some sense of that there wasn't much point in tracking the unstable releases.
False, once tried KDE (and Qt, i like so much to make you read this name) a person totally loses the ability to communicate with others because the Devil comes out of Qt and steals her soul. Your sister cannot have described her experience to you.
p.s. Ok, said this i stop.
