Personal Preference: GNOME vs. KDE and GUI vs. CLI

I have a strong preference for the Gnome desktop. I’ve played with several window managers over the years and watched them evolve. I still experiment with others all the time, but I find myself back in Gnome when I want to really get stuff done.I’ve watched arguments about which is better; Gnome or KDE. I’ve tried to run them side by side and usually ended up with preference files and libraries SO messed up I wipe the drive and perform a clean install. So I’m going to focus 99% on Gnome and gdm based packages.I am also a fan of the GUI. I hate the fact that I just can’t seem to do some things without opening a terminal and typing commands in bash. I will try and do as much as I can without resorting to the command line – but there will still be a lot of typing. I am a fan of sites that provide code that can be cut and paste – so I will do the same whenever I can.
