Journal SPAM: Linus fires latest shot in GNOME Wars 4

Journal by stoolpigeon on Friday February 16, 2007 @06:03PM

Linux.com is running a story about the continuing feud between Linus and some GNOME folks.Some bad blood between Linus Torvalds and GNOME developers is flaring up again. Previously, Torvalds has said that Linux users should switch to KDE instead of GNOME because of the GNOME team's "users are idiots" mentality. Now he has "put his money where his mouth is" by submitting patches to GNOME in order to have it behave as he likes.

    Nifty, 'cos packages install like MacOS - big dirs with local libs. Dead simple.

It's a pretty stiff competition but "I choose Gnome - or, rather, Ubuntu - because it detects all my hardware without fault" is probably the dumbest comment there.
At this point, GNOME and KDE are going in two novel directions instead of KDE copying Windows and GNOME copying KDE. That seems like an ideal situation, especially since I still have WindowMaker to use myself.
