What’s Your Desktop Environment?
by from on (#5A23)
This isn't the case so much with Linux, because users can choose from a long list of desktop environments to install atop any distro, changing the entire look and feel of their system. You can have Mageia and PCLinuxOS both running KDE natively - but you also can run KDE as your desktop in Fedora, even though Fedora defaults to GNOME.
