I used to be a Gnome fan, well before the days of Gnome3, but found a
combination of KDE, Gnome and Xfce apps worked better and was more
customisable to what I required with another Desktop Environment -
generally, Xfce, but found Fluxbox also quite workable.

These days I find KDE much improved beyond the endless segfaults it used
to suffer from and I also run Enlightenment as a second choice to give
myself a break every now and again, but all this with unstable.

Nothing wrong with Debian.
Kind regards,

Weaver
