Well, it's a normal "horses for courses" presentation I guess.

I used SuSE since 2001 - until April this year (2010) when I switched to 
Ubuntu.

In this period I had no troubles with SuSE/openSUSE (apart from the 
normal niggley bits), but I changed to Ubuntu (and gnome which I HATED 
way back when I was looking for a LInux distro :-) ) because of the KDE 
crap. (No intention of starting a DE war - but nevertheless KDE is crap, 
"Sorry, Natasha".)

With all the talk about Unity et al I thought that I would check out 
openSUSE, and some others, and found that the openSUSE implementation of 
gnome is RS - but I hope that their acceptance to run to run with gnome 
3 may make them adopt a sensible approach to gnome.

But if not, and nobody else takes the right approach, then there is 
always Windows and MAC....and even giving away to charity the computers 
and monitors to charity and going back to trying to gain serious 
knowledge and broadening the mind by reading those almost extinct 
objects called BOOKS :-) .
