Experience with KDE-Linux

Hi,

I am using Kubuntu(ubuntu with KDE, default ubuntu comes with GNOME) for past few months.
I started using Linux with GNOME, the default desktop environment, which was quite simple and usable for a normal user.
And to experience the power of KDE, I switched to KDE.
KDE is amazing with a huge number of functionalities when compared to GNOME.

But I found the following issues with my Kubuntu:

  1. Kopete doesn’t support Google Voice Talk, by default.
  2. Sharing internet connection to my Mobile Device through WiFi was a complicated process.
  3. Hard to get online help for above issues.

But with GNOME, GTalk Voice worked with Pidgin and internet connection sharing was quite easier.

So I think now I should switch back to GNOME.
