We went a few rounds about this several months ago. I said at the time that Fedora is a Gnome platform that also supports KDE, but that seemed to bother some people (to be clear: I'm a KDE user myself). However even if this is the case with Fedora, it doesn't mean that Gnome has "won" in any meaningful sense. There are several popular distros out there that one could call "KDE based but also supporting Gnome", Suse being the most obvious example. poc -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
