GNOME vs KDE
People have been arguing about which Linux desktop environment is better for years. However, we need a "rational" way to decide. So, I've put together a list of things to compare the two.
Naming
KDE has a huge dis-advantage against GNOME. After all, all it stands for is "K Desktop Environment". GNOME, on the other hand stands for "GNU Network Object Model Environment". GNU stands for "GNU's Not UNIX". UNIX stands for UNiplexed Information and Computing System (it used to be called Unices).
Mascots
Here, KDE's back on top. But it's still pretty close. I mean, it's a battle between a smelly foot that wiggles its toes (in Nautilus, anyway), and a dragon that likes appearing whenever an app crashes. Wonderful. Still, the dragon does it for me (he likes KPat).

Samsung is working on new memory technologies that provide faster bandwidth inside hardware for data to travel between CPUs, storage and other computing resources. The company also announced it was partnering with Red Hat to ensure these technologies have Linux compatibility. |
