  • I personally prefer gnome, work in it is just faster with gnome shell and it's window management, but it's is very individual. You can install KDE next to the Gnome and test it without removing Gnome jet.

    "And tell me which is better among KDE and GNOME" is a subjective question and possible flame war >:-)
