Three reasons why I use both KDE and GNOME
First of all, I’m not Guru. I used to be a Windows user, but now I’m a Linux fan. I’ve been using Linux for quite some time now. I don’t play with the kernel or do any serious system administration stuff; I chiefly use Linux for web development and other “normal stuff” (internet, music, video, graphics etc).
This month, I came across some interesting posts: Sal Cangeloso’s Three Reasons to Use GNOME, Hans Bezemer’s Three reasons NOT to use GNOME, Irfan Habib’s Happy birthday KDE! (he gives three nice reasons for using KDE), RuddO’s Three reasons to use KDE and Three reasons not to use KDE.
I’ve been using Linux for around four years, and I’ve never stuck to either KDE or GNOME. I find myself switching between these two every few months. During these four years, I never really pondered over this matter. But, when I read above mentioned posts, I decided to give it a thought and came out with my reasons for using both KDE and GNOME. They might be lame, but here they are:

Samsung, Red Hat to Work on Linux Drivers for Future TechThe metaverse is expected to uproot system design as we know it, and Samsung is one of many hardware vendors re-imagining data center infrastructure in preparation for a parallel 3D world. Samsung is working on new memory technologies that provide faster bandwidth inside hardware for data to travel between CPUs, storage and other computing resources. The company also announced it was partnering with Red Hat to ensure these technologies have Linux compatibility. |

re: Three reasons
Here's my three reasons why I don't give a flying %$##*@% what GUI anyone uses.
1) I have a brain, I'll pick whatever works best for me.
2) You sound like a moron ranting over which tool works better (reminds me of the old muscle car days of Ford vs. Chevy - they both were mediocre off the factory line, they both could be built-up into major road burners).
3) I don' take advice from morons.
