“For nine years, my default desktop was GNOME. About the third
of the time, I’d use another desktop or a shell, either for the
purposes of review or just for a change, but I’d always return to
GNOME. It was a no-fuss interface in which I could do my common
tasks without any problem. But a glitch on my system that left
GNOME unstartable coincided with the release of KDE 4.2, and — not
having the time to reinstall — I switched to KDE. I haven’t looked
back since.
