The real question is: Can it silence your speakers when you plug in earphones yet?

Agreed. I think they base their figures off of the operating system a user uses most. But, currently, I think there are a significant number of Linux users who are counted as windows users because...

I really wish people would stop reading so much into it when Linus switches DE's. I switch DE's all the time.

It doesn't mean that he thinks the DE he's switching to is better, or prefers it. ...

Well, almost all other Linux steam users will first have set up a Steam account on Windows some time in the past. Hell, that survey done by Canonical a while back showed that 75% of their userbase...

Oh? This is rare... I can't remember a single release of KDE being delayed since the release of 4.0. Not that I'm constantly on the look out for delays though, so I might just have missed it.

I think many of you are missing the point.

The Gnome devs, work on Gnome, because it is near to their heart. For reasons, that are they may or may not be able to articulate. But, regardless,...

While, I'm all for user feedback, don't you think the survey could have been better handled. Don't use Gnome myself, so I didn't feel I had the right to give feedback and so I don't know how the...

I for one am disappointed by the lack of quality of the article. Don't get me wrong, the data is great. But, with a massive comparison like this, it would have been great to glean a little more...

Regardless of the reasons developers have for writing whatever it is their writing, and regardless of what it's intended to be used for, there seems to be this cancer in the Open-Source community...

"...won't see much in the way of real-world use..."

How long have you been a part of the Open-Source world? We're ALWAYS on the lookout for really cool ways to make our own lives harder. :D

So what you're actually saying is, "I don't care if everything comes crashing down in the future and we're all forced to Windows! I want it to work today! Screw tomorrow!"

The reason people are...

Personally, I think that Gnome is going fail horribly if it doesn't return to the VERY basics of marketing : Who is your TARGET MARKET?

Everytime they speak, it sounds to me as though they are...

KDE 4.6 was released end of January 2011, while the latest, stable version of KDE was released in 6 June 2012. So, I think it's a little unfair to compare 4.6 to the latest stable version. A lot...

I think you've hit the nail on the head.

Aaron Seigo from KDE mentioned that they chief thing they learned from the 4.0 release, was that it wasn't wise to port the applications and DE in the same...

In the past, I've always installed Gnome on the computers that are too old or slow for KDE, or otherwise, the computers that I have to KNOW is not going to crash.

But, ever since KDE 4.7, even my...

Well, the topic is still under discussion, so feel free to jump in and offer a better solution, since your obviously not "wet-behind-the-ears". And, I'm not extremely well informed on Wayland works,...

That reminds me, whatever happened to Gobuntu?

That one is pretty good. A lot of the times, when reading about law suites, or police cases I just wish we could write a law or a lisence agreement that says "Don't be an asshole".

That's the funny thing about Windows. It's not lightweight. It never has been. It always tends to err on the side of too much. Many of it's features are only available on "heavy" DE's, and it...

Well, the legal issue is a bit of a catch 22. Because if something ends up in court, it basically comes down to "But these are the terms which you have read and agreed to."

But now, we have the...
