I was using Kubuntu since Feisty days and I have to say that I’m happy with it. However, I’ve been having problems with Kubuntu Intrepid’s KDE4 interface recently that I decided to give plain old Ubuntu which uses Gnome a try. I downloaded the Ubuntu LiveCD ISO last night, installed it on a USB stick using UNetBootin and gave it a try. I was quite happy with the results so I decided to move over to it and leave my old friend Kubuntu behind.

Gnome is an entirely different thing from KDE so comparing the two will be like comparing apples with oranges. They have different ways of achieving the same results which means I have to make some habit adjustments. It’ll probably give me a week to get used to the new way of doing things with Gnome.

Will I stay with Gnome? Yes. Will I replace KDE with Gnome on my other computers? Maybe not yet because the family is already used to KDE and I don’t want them to keep on bugging me asking what to do. Maybe next year.

P.S. I Love GnomeDo which is way better than KDE’s Katapult.
