    Posté par . En réponse au journal Linus quitte GNOME3. Évalué à 10.

    Osnews a recensé les déclarations de linux à propos de KDE et gnome.
    En 2005 il prônait l'utilisation de kde, car gnome prenait trop ses utilisateurs pour des imbéciles :

    "I personally just encourage people to switch to KDE. This 'users are idiots, and are confused by functionality' mentality of Gnome is a disease. If you think your users are idiots, only idiots will use it. I don't use Gnome, because in striving to be simple, it has long since reached the point where it simply doesn't do what I need it to do. Please, just tell people to use KDE."

    En 2009 il quittait kde, car même s'il comprenait pourquoi il a fallu changer tant de choses il pensait que les développeurs kde ne l'avaient pas fait de la bonne manière :

    "I used to be a KDE user. I thought KDE 4.0 was such a disaster, I switched to GNOME. I hate the fact that my right button doesn't do what I want it to do. But the whole "break everything" model is painful for users, and they can choose to use something else. I realize the reason for the 4.0 release, but I think they did it badly. They did so may changes, it was a half-baked release. It may turn out to be the right decision in the end, and I will retry KDE, but I suspect I'm not the only person they lost."

    Mais à la fin il sous-entendait qu'il réessaierait un jour.

    Par contre, il ne laisse aucune chance à gnome3, car même sans les problèmes de jeunesse, l'expérience utilisateur sous gnome3 est inacceptable :

    it's not that I have rendering problems with gnome3 (although I do have those too), it's that the user experience of Gnome3 even without rendering problems is unacceptable.
