On Sunday, I opened a survey to find out what graphical user interface readers are using. The survey is now officially closed and below you will find the results. Talk amongst yourselves.

Way to go KDE Plasma. I also find it by far the best compared to any desktop I have used so far. Flexible, configurable, innovative and it looks great.
ReplyDeleteIf it weren't the fact that my Netbook is 2GB ram, I'd have stayed on KDE. Hands down the best GUI, in my opinion.
ReplyDeleteMy netbook only has 1 GB but I still use KDE Plasma Netbook workspace on it. I just had to make sure some of the services that use much of memory were disabled.
ReplyDeleteYou can disable effects, and or install a minimal base (plasma-desktop)
ReplyDeleteWow. Cool. Go KDE. I wouldn't have guessed that.
ReplyDeleteDespite liking the outcome, I have a feeling that maybe, MAYBE your audience is slightly different from the 'average' computer user? If not, I find it hard to explain how MS and Apple still make so much money ;-)
ReplyDeletePerhaps so. Maybe I'll do more advertising for the survey next time before it begins to help randomize the results.
ReplyDeleteI guess I really need to try KDE, seeing all those polls where it is always at the top.
ReplyDeleteKDE release 4.10.1 & regular openSUSE 12.3 on a netbook with 2G of RAM. Works great; can't imagine what would make it better.
ReplyDeleteI did see that the survey was mentioned in the Cult of Mac group. After seeing that I expected more Mac users to come and vote but apparently they did not. The person who posted the link did note it was a Linux based site and, I think, was polite about it and did not work to "stuff" the ballots. Still, if Mac users were the "Cult" they are accused of being you would have seen dozens if not hundreds of votes for OS X.
ReplyDeleteI knew I made a right decision last year when I switched away from Ubuntu (to Mageia) and to KDE desktop. Especially seeing how many bad decisions Canonical is making today. And what I learned since then is that there are distributions which are much nicer and still respect community and free software values. Too bed the press is ignoring other distributions and awesome software like KDE desktop and software despite coming out as a winner in almost every survey I have seen. So yeah I think it would be great if journalists wrote more about non-Ubuntu distros and KDE in particular so that more people would know about it.
