I stop bashing KDE when my grandma told me last 3 months ago that she likes
KDE more than GNOME.

I keep arguing with her, I said "lola, KDE sucks, trust me, it's hard and
it's really complicated", then she replied "If you want me to learn these
things, I have to learn it the hard way.".

It's a lesson I learn now she's dead. That people have different tastes.


So in answer to the Freespire ad about 'steps needed to make X the
