The proof is in the numbers. More home users use Ubuntu than any other
flavour of Linux. This is not due to the "I use it at work" aspect of
Windows, it's simply because it's the most appealing, easy to use
flavour of Linux and it has spread mainly, as is normal, by
word-of-mouth.

When there are as many people choosing to use a KDE-based distro, we
can argue about the pros and cons. Until that time, the majority have
voted with their feet (and install discs).
