Which Gutsy will you try?

[vishzilla]

As the release of Gutsy is days away, which one are you gonna try out: the U or the K or the X?

I am looking to try out K this time. I haven't used KDE so far, i love the apps KDE offers.

Edit: Poll added

[~LoKe]

Ubuntu. I can't tolerate KDE.

[Quillz]

Ubuntu

[santiagoward2000]

Definitely Xubuntu. I just love XFCE!
I may try the others sometime, but I sure I'll stay with Xubuntu... :guitar:

[the.dark.lord]

Ubuntu

betterthanyoubuntu for me

;)

I couldn't imagine life without it, normal versions make my family ill.

:lolflag:

Kind regards

[Frak]

Ubuntu or Xubuntu, I was impressed at Kubuntu at first (KDE Junkie), but was dissapointed with the very slight additions and modifications to it. :(

Oh well, Ubuntu/Xubuntu FTW :guitar:

EDIT
I also forsee Xubuntu's Gutsy release date being some time away from the deadline date.

[walkerk]

I installed Ubuntu to take a look at Gnome 2.20.. not bad..

but i quickly found OB installed and running :P

betterthanyoubuntu? What's that? I googled it, but found nothing...

I would use OB if I could have Compiz as well. =[

[walkerk]

I would use OB if I could have Compiz as well. =[

xcompmgr does well enough for me. i don't use all of the extra compiz plugins.. who really does?

[starcraft.man]

Already have Gutsy installed (Ubuntu). It's stable for me and after finding a VMware Workstation update I can now do all my work on it :).

Edit: Walkerk... I do. *spins cube* Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

lol. i bet :P

[-grubby]

well I'm using Ubuntu right now... but I might try Kubuntu this time
EDIT: oh wait! I've changed my mind. I'm going to try Fluxbuntu!

[southernman]

Ubuntu for me, though I may dual boot this time with Win... grrrrr I mean - Xubuntu

[Stan_1936]

Fluxbuntu, Ubuntu and Xubuntu...I will multiple boot them. I can't stand KDE...

[jeremy]

Kubuntu for me (can't stand gnome)! ;)

[dizee]

Xubuntu, just to see what it is like, and if it is much faster than gnome on my modest machine.

[Gremlinzzz]

Xubuntu far superior than the others. especially on new computer.
:guitar:

[Presto123]

Methinks...Ubuntu. I tried Kubuntu for just a few mins and did not like it at all. Sadly, maybe I was a bit touchy on my testing.

I will have to learn how to uninstall Feisty. Isn't there some simple way to just update to Gutsy?

you can use the Alternate CD to upgrade or you can use the command line to upgrade. you will get the intimation to upgrade to latest Gutsy in the update manager.

[pluviosity]

I am more of a KDE person myself (mostly for the apps), but I am going to try Ubuntu Gutsy, at least at first I think. Some of the new features look nice, but if they aren't worth it, it's back to Kubuntu for me :)

[jc87]

Ubuntu :D

Already tested it in live-cd, the new Gnome version seems little but well improved (as usual).

I already tried KDE in the past but i always come back to Gnome, i will give it another chance when KDE 4.0 is released, but for now i´m a Gnome interface Nazi:KS

[tcoffeep]

I'm currently testing out the Ubuntu version, but I'm hoping that some much-needed updates on the Xubuntu will be worked on, and I could try switching that-a-way, and so on. I hate KDE.

Hate?
Kinda harsh, you think?

[tcoffeep]

OK, maybe a little harsh, but I just didn't find it very "comfortable", if you understand.

[Frak]

I agree, it is somewhat clunky.

[HotShotDJ]

Kubuntu -- gnome is teh suxor! ( :) -- just playing -- but I really don't like gnome)

[tcoffeep]

To each their own, methinks.

This may be off-topic, but has anyone ever used XPDE (rather than XFCE)? I've heard rumours of it...Would it work with Gutsy?

[Circus-Killer]

Ubuntu

+ 1

I also vote you learn to create polls :)

[LLauranzonIII]

gnome

[Arathorn]

I'm already with Kubuntu Gutsy testing, and I'll stay with that. I like KDE a lot, although Kubuntu as a distro could get a bit more love (I'm a bit underwhelmed by the new features in Kubuntu Gutsy). Still, the upcoming release of KDE 4 will make it worth my while.

[blithen]

Definitely Xubuntu. I just love XFCE!

[ticopelp]

Ubuntu. I've tried the other flavors, and I just don't care for them as much.

Chalk me up as another entry in the KDE disliker's club.

[jimrz]

U, for sure + maybe X on an older machine to play with and see how it is progressing.

[thisllub]

Kubuntu Fiesty was one of the poorest KDE implementations around. Perhaps that is why there are so many GNOME fans here.

[Billy_McBong]

ill use gnome
KDE is okay but i prefer gnome

[FuturePilot]

I've already tried them all:lolflag:
I'm sticking with Gnome though. I like the simplicity.
KISS is a great principle.

[atlfalcons866]

has anyone used gobuntu

[betweenthetines]

Ubuntu for me...although I'm considering trying out an openbox setup once I have Gutsy up and running.

[mtgrocks04]

Kubuntu, I absolutly cannot stand Gnome.

[Presto123]

you will get the intimation to upgrade to latest Gutsy in the update manager.

Now...that's sweet :)

[toupeiro]

I've never really been a big KDE fan, it always felt too much like Windows, and I never really much cared for the post Program-Manager windows GUI's. (Not that I thought Program Manager was great either)

I've been doing the dist-upgrade process since 6.10 as a proof of concept that ubuntu can continually transition across several different versions without reinstalling. I don't know of a single circumstance where someone installed Windows 95/98, upgraded to 2000, upgraded to XP, and if they were bold enough upgraded to vista and things worked flawlessly for them.

With the next LTS, 8.04, I will do a reinstall on my main computer and run the LTS until EOL if I can. Again, this is to verify proof of concept. I will be using ubuntu though, for the reasons I stated above :)

[Frak]

has anyone used gobuntu
I have, but not to my taste. I need some proprietary programs.

[steveneddy]

Ubuntu. I can't tolerate KDE.

Ditto - I thought I was the only one.

[tcoffeep]

Ditto - I thought I was the only one.



You're not alone. There're many of us. ^.^

[Stan_1936]

XPDE is waay too Windows like for me.

[tcoffeep]

That's what is made for, though, to adjust people migrating from Windows XP...

[Stan_1936]

If you're migrating from (i.e. leaving behind) Windows, you should prepare for ahm....something.....***different***. I switched over to Ubuntu from Windows without a problem...clickity-click for a newbie installation.

Personally, if I['lv leavimg Windows, well, then I simply wouldn't anything that even remotely resembles Windows.

[Bart_D]

Xfce baby! It is as "fast as lightning" for me. I loved the Zenwalk version slightly more but Xubuntu will do just fine.

I got a really sick feeling in my throat when I first saw KDE
It makes me feel just as sick as I would feel
when I drink tea.
I would get dizzy if I used KDE.
L-e-t-s G-o...XFCE!

[sp0onman]

i will probably start out using ubuntu, but i must admit KDE does tikle my fancy.might give it more than 5 minutes chance this time. i do love gnome but KDE has better apps(please dont hurt me) oh btw i am using gnome atm.

[transactionlogfiller]

Well, I had the ubuntu DVD, but I installed a command line system and then did apt-get install xubuntu-desktop :)

Just reinstalling my favourite extra packages on it now.

[Bungo Pony]

Ubuntu all the way! I've played with Kubuntu. It looked nice at first glance, but after using it for a while, it was leaving little surprises everywhere, much like a new puppy :)

I love the stability and simplicity of Gnome. However, KDE's apps blow away most of the Gnome ones. I just mix n match whatever I can :)

+1, very true :)

[Depressed Man]

I'm using the Ubuntu Gutsy (beta) right now on my laptop. Not a big fan of KDE, though that may change when KDE4 comes out.

[SpiritIsReality]

howdy

I'm in for the duration ...

there's so much great ... whatchamacallits around here

[Incense]

I love these KDE vs Gnome threads. They are so productive. If gutsy goes on my system, it will be Kubuntu, just because I use KDE. I have found with Ubuntu though, that if you load Kubuntu on top of the Gnome desktop it is a bit more stable then loading Kubuntu alone. Anyone else feel ths way? I guess that means I'll be running both U and K.

Same here, don't know why.

Also, I think OpenSUSE did KDE right. It looks nice. Kubuntu looks like a 2 minute improvision.

[Zoiked]

I am 100% Gnome at the moment and will probably stay that way until KDE4 comes out. Then we will see....

[Frak]

KDE4 is out.

[smartboyathome]

I will use GNOME for a long time to come (until KDE goes to GTK and Metacity, at least ;)). Reason is: I am a themer, and you have to make a program basically in order to make a theme in KDE. Also, Domino + KDE Color Scheme + Decoration is way more confusing to me than just a GTK theme and a Metacity theme.

[old_geekster]

I am sticking with the "X". I have tried the others with Edgy and Feisty and still like "X" the best.

[fuscia]

i pretty much always end up ditching gnome and only playing with kde for a few hours (before dumping it, ending up in the boxes for the majority of the time, so i'll do a server install (or alternative, or whatever it's called now). i'll probably learn some more as a result.

[-grubby]

KDE4 is out.

not the stable version

[RAV TUX]

As the release of Gutsy is days away, which one are you gonna try out: the U or the K or the X?

I am looking to try out K this time. I haven't used KDE so far, i love the apps KDE offers.

I am currently using all of the above and so much more in Gutsy. ;)

[Frak]

not the stable version
But it is out for use.

[TeraDyne]

It's always Kubuntu for me. I might give GNOME another shot later on, though.

[AndyCooll]

It's always Kubuntu for me. I might give GNOME another shot later on, though.

'Tother way round for me. Ubuntu all the way, though I occasionally think it might be worth revisiting K again ...even if just to re-confirm my preference for GNOME.

:cool:

[atlfalcons866]

I will be using kubuntu 7.10. I recently switched from gnome to KDE. Gnome dosent do what i want it to do.

[atlfalcons866]

Kubuntu, I absolutly cannot stand Gnome.

same here

[Presto123]

i will probably start out using ubuntu, but i must admit KDE does tikle my fancy.might give it more than 5 minutes chance this time. i do love gnome but KDE has better apps(please dont hurt me) oh btw i am using gnome atm.

Ahaha...just like me. I only took about the same time to look at KDE.

[Sabretooth]

I dunno, really. GNOME is sort of clunky for me, and it slows down horribly with 4-5 apps. I've had a good experience with Kubuntu before, so that's where I'll go this time. :) Or perhaps I'll take both!

[misfitpierce]

Ubuntu first as its my primary OS on laptop and I use laptop mainly. Maybe KDE afterwards.

[Zoiked]

not the stable version

Ya, The current KDE4 is completely unstable and certainly not suitable for use.

[Gargamella]

Xubuntu all the way

and I will try Fluxbuntu (which I was really waiting for)

[EdThaSlayer]

I would have to go for Kubuntu 7.10 this time. I have gotten pretty used to KDE since I have gotten PClinuxOS installed(only changed because I don't have an internet connection at my dorm :D).

[greymongrey]

i will probably start out using ubuntu, but i must admit KDE does tikle my fancy.might give it more than 5 minutes chance this time. i do love gnome but KDE has better apps(please dont hurt me) oh btw i am using gnome atm.
I pretty much agree. KDE apps are better overall, at least for me. Gnome, however, has the slicker desktop.

As for answering the question, I will try Ubuntu. I have two KDE desktops and one Gnome one.

[boast]

I like KDE apps, but the gnome environment.

But since my laptop uses Xubuntu, I'll be trying the X!

[wersdaluv]

A poll would be nice.

[pvdg]

Gobuntu should be on this list. That's what I'm going to try first. Does anyone know if it's possible to switch from Ubuntu 7.04 to Gobuntu 7.10 without reinstalling, after removing multiverse and restricted packages? Information on Gobuntu is rather scarce!

Just upgrade to 7.10 and run in the terminal

sudo aptitude update
sudo aptitude safe-upgrade
sudo aptitude install gobuntu-desktop

[pvdg]

Thanks a lot Frak! and I'm glad it's that simple. I'll try it as soon as the official release is out in a few days.

[Frak]

Anybody else who doesn't want to use the terminal to install, just click the link below to auto-install.

apt:gobuntu-desktop (apt:gobuntu-desktop)

[ArtF10]

X baby all the way. Although I will first try Flux, just to see what all the fuss is about.

[w7kmc]

Will be giving ubuntu a try this time. I have been using K...

[Frak]

Will be giving ubuntu a try this time. I have been using K...
I was dissapointed with Kubuntu, but they recently fixed some things and its much, much better.

[lyceum]

You should have added an "other" section. I am excited about Fluxbuntu finally coming out, and Ubuntu Studio is really cool as well, I do a lot of art, so it saves me a bit of time.

For my PC's, low grade will be switched to Fluxbuntu, my personal PC will be Ubuntu Studio and all other PCs will get Ubuntu.

:guitar:

[LuisAugusto]

Ubuntu of course, KDE is impressive, but Kubuntu is not in the same league as Ubuntu (and I like GNOME too of course).

I'll might try Elbuntu 1.1 too, but it isn't based on Gutsy.

[cogadh]

I'll be sticking with Ubuntu on my main machine. I like the apps offered with KDE, but I prefer the Gnome desktop. I might try out Xubuntu on one of my older machines, just for giggles.

[tsnell]

I'll use ubuntu.

[lunamystry]

WOW!! I've been using Gutsy KDE for a while now I and before that I was using KDE feisty. I originaly got a gnome feisty disc but after trying KDE once i have not really used gnome. I will install the gnome desktop but I am really satisfied with my KDE right now.

I also sometimes feel kubuntu does not get as mush attention as ubuntu from the developers. I have to install compiz myself and kdetheme and I think that could be installed default.

[LowSky]

I got Gutsy veriosn of Ubuntu Studio running for about 2 weeks now, and everything seems to working fine

[hessiess]

no none option? fisty fawn is working perfectily, i have no resen to change

[cookieofdoom]

I'll get a server edition CD, then I'll probably install Kubuntu and Ubuntu. I switch between KDE and Gnome rather often, it depends on what I'm trying to do. I prefer KDE but sometimes things are faster in Gnome.

[Baby Boy]

Ubuntu, though I ordered the Kubuntu CD too, just to see what it's like. Who knows...

[herbster]

I'll of course grab Ubuntu, but immediately get Openbox going. Only been about two weeks using OB and it she rocks.

[arashiko28]

For being honest, it is U and X, but it only lets me choose one. So take it in consideration, the oldie does not support the power of the U and K

[Coldkill]

I'm waiting to try Ubuntu
Not a long wait now :)

[octoberdan]

To celebrate the release of Gutsy, I installed e17 :-). Actually, I turned my experience into my first ubuntu blog post (http://octoberdan.wordpress.com/2007/10/29/installing-elbuntu-e17-for-ubuntu/).

So, my votes for Elbuntu, which is sadly not on the list.




(if (boundp 'elbunt)
(set 'elbuntu (+ elbuntu 1))
(set 'elbuntu 1))
