I decided to install mine with KDE4 but it feels very… odd for me. I have always preferred the GNOME side of things slightly more. :shame:
I’m the mature facebook type of person rather than the myspace/bebo type.
To me kde is like myspace/bebo whereas facebook is like gnome… lol! (but all are good to use)
It’s hard for me to pick between them. I might re-install my openSUSE 11 to use the gnome environment… or try to install it so I can switch between (if possible)
What do you guys prefer and why? Which desktop environment is better in your opinion?
KDE4 is buggy on my computer, I don’t know why…
Gnome has always run smoothly in the past and feels more professional…
This has probably been asked a million times before but I would love to hear from the openSUSE community!

Nothing to be ashamed of there. I’ve been a GNOME user for many years; I
prefer it because it lets me focus on the work I’m doing rather than on
tweaking every little detail of how the interface works. If I were a KDE
user, I’d spend endless hours playing with this, that, and the other
thing, and I simply don’t have time for that.
The UI is a means for me to do work.
That said: Which is better? Depends on what you want. Is a red car
better than a blue car?

That’s your fault, not the interface’s.
I’m in KDE, but I hardly ever change anything in it. I just use it.

That’s what it’s supposed to be.

<shrug> Doesn’t matter to me whose fault it is. I prefer the simplicity
of the GNOME interface. I’ve been using it for going on 12 years or so
now. Started using it because I pulled Ximian’s Red Carpet to get
updates for RedHat 5 or 6 and I got used to it. I’ve tried KDE a few
times, but I’m more familiar with where to find things in GNOME, so I
always switch back.

That’s actually the same for me, only reversing to KDE. Just used to it, as
I started with SuSE and KDE.
