Yes, Kubuntu is a complete disaster. Not the KDE team's fault though I
don't think. The Kubuntu devs botched it real bad. On another note, I
have heard that users of KDE on OpenSolaris are happy with it?
Who ever said anything about K/Ubuntu, mon? Imho, Ubuntu is for lamers
who're not quite bright enough to use a real operating system....
Or those who would rather not have to recompile kernel modules for their
Nvidia card. I'd be using Centos if I did not have to mess about every
time the kernel gets an update/security fix.
I stopped using OpenSolaris as a desktop after I have had enough of GNOME...
My experience is opposite - the more I use Gnome, the greater my
appreciation. Every once in a while I go retro and take Xfce or LXDE
for a spin, or even more retro and roll by own on top of OpenBOX. While
each has it's pros and cons, I keep coming back to Gnome because it just
works and I've better things to do with my time than tweak my
workstation desktop ad nauseum.
Just works? Good for you. Broken NetworkManager on Ubuntu, crashing
Thunderbird, uber memory hog. I wonder if XFCE would have been better
off not using GTK but ah well.
The Desktop on UNIX/Linux is just a mess. Period. I hope OSS4 gives
something better than the sun audio interface it is replacing (or did I
read that wrong?) and some strides are made elsewhere for the desktop.
