Hi, my main account runs KDE because it seems that the interface is
better. Sometimes I run in another account in GNOME, for example when I
think a program should be run in a environment that is "isolated". I use
GNOME because I think running two KDEs may be resource costly for my
computer.
Does the desktop environment have something to do with the distributions?
