Torvalds dumps KDE for Gnome By David Meyer, ZDNet UK January 27, 2009 URL: http://www.zdnet.com.au/news/software/soa/Torvalds-dumps-KDE-for-Gnome/0,130061733,339294576,00.htm
in brief Ticked off at the latest revamp of KDE, Linux progenitor Linus Torvalds has switched to GNOME. Apparently he thought KDE 4.0 was a "disaster" and "half-baked". Harsh words indeed. In an interview with Computerworld, Torvalds said "break everything" probably wasn't the best idea: I got the update through Fedora and there was a mismatch from KDE 3 to KDE 4.0. The desktop was not as functional and it was just a bad experience for me. I'll revisit it when I reinstall the next machine which tends to be every six to eight months.
