I like KDE. Of course as Void pointed out, SuSE is very KDEcentric. I move around it well, but that could be like my initial move from windows to Linux too. Windows was comfortable and familiar, even with all it's faults. I installed SuSE and used KDE (which is the default desktop for SuSE) and became familiar and comfortable with it. Windows has started to be like going to a foriegn country with no prior preperation, only general knowledge. Then I tried Gnome. I liked it alot, but I was...am...still learning Linux and decided I had all ready used KDE for a while and would switch to Gnome when I was more profficient with it.
My reccomendation...Being a recent convertee, go with a major distro like Redhat, SuSE or Mandrake. There's loads of support for them, there's loads of peeps here and at other sites that are more than willing to not only answer your questions on forums, but in real time on a messenger. The biggest help I've found so far is Void Main's site...That dude is a Linux Guru of Legendary Stature!!! He will one day be in the Linux hall of fame...as soon as there is one.
Canadian lubber - You're an ass hat. People ask reasonable questions because they want to convert and you call them a retard. Outstanding support in helping people convert. You never know, the newb you flame could end up being a developer one day who breaks the glass and makes Linux jump the marketting gap. we're supposed to help these people and provide positive feedback so they can make intelligent decisions. You're a retard does not qualify as that. Perhaps that's why you're considered a Troll at some forums? I certainly understand why the average person thinks of Linux users as some 1337 U83r H4x0r5 geeks who do nothing but hack websites and flame anyone who isn't all ready using linux...It's because they encounter butt knuckles like you.
I just have to add if I had encountered peeps like you when I thought about changing, I wouldn't have. You're attitude is counterproductive.
