      KDE is for kids, GNOME is for Grownups.

      Uh huh. No fanboying on your part at all. Projection?

      Once again, I will send you a video later today of KDE plasma running on my 1GHz single core potato (a much slower CPU than yours) to prove that Plasma can perform. Hey, maybe I’ll also run GNOME on it for you for comparison purposes. Note that I don’t inherently have a problem with GNOME, as I don’t have the mentality that “KDE is for KGrownups”.

      Because I feel like with childish statements like the one above, you’re not exactly being 100% truthful. But I can back up my argument with evidence.

          KDE Plasma on a laptop whose hardware was crap when it came out in 2009, running fine:

          GNOME, slightly sluggish:

          Also just checked out your “computing guide” (which is just a loose collection of info and recommendations more than a guide), and lol’d at this paragraph [brackets mine]:

          F(L)OSS means Free (Libre) Open Source software, and it means that the software is freeware [eh, no? FLOSS can be paid], AND the source code that are building blocks of software, are available openly and freely for modification, reverse engineering, compilation and studying purposes. The correct way to say it, as Richard Stallman says, is FLOSS and not FOSS. [I’m fairly sure if you ask Stallman he’ll completely reject “Open Source” all together]
