New user of linux I installed UE 1.8 based on Ubuntu 8.04 it only gave me gnome desktop, later when I compared my desktop with screen shots posted in this forum I found that KDE has better user interface & its own applications.
I will be reinstalling linux as my wubi install is too slow to boot. I have a choice that instead of UE 1.8x64(only gnome) I install Ubuntu x64 which gives me option to choose gnome vs kde (I guess so)
I want to know any downside of KDE desktop as I use 20 inch wide screen LCD & concerned about font sharpness & resolution, my personal inclination is to KDE as it has better user interface & quite configurable but just want to be sure that I know what will I loose in comparison to Gnome.
Gnome I read that is very light on resources & quite stable. KDE I read in many forums that it is bloated not sure why users say so, so need an opinion before I try.
*www.linuxquestions.org/questions/2...ds-76/desktop-environment-of-the-year-514945/
I can always use KDE selected applications on Gnome desktop too getting best of the both.
Are there anymore such desktops beside kde & gnome?
Does Ubuntu 8.04 have a problem detecting wide screen at the time of 1st install? I read that they did some changes which makes it difficult to work with wide screen out of the box.
I don't like the KDE fonts so can I install vista fonts & get a better look?
I am a user of mainly graphics program & plan to shift full time to linux x64 version for speed & stability.
