Hello, It's been a long time since I messed with Linux, specifically. I have some more recent experience with BSD, but not recently enough to affect my choices for a "modern" desktop. I have an older laptop I have decided I want to install Debian on, mainly for the purposes of running ham radio related software that won't run on MacOS, which is my main desktop. I pulled live images for Gnome and KDE, and have verified that everything on the laptop seems to work with the live image.
My real, burning question is, are there compelling reasons to choose Gnome vs KDE, and is there something obvious I'm overlooking? I think the last desktop I ran on BSD was XFCE, but at the time I think that was specifically because it was fairly light weight and allowed easy virtual desktop changing. It might have been 20 years ago (and my last linux distro might have been Slackware) so I am confident things have changed. Any advice or shortcuts to sorting out which might ultimately work best for me would be appreciated. Drew -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "NLUG" group.
