Hey guys,

Love the show, please keep on going!

You recently touched upon a blog post about Gnome's apparently delusional future and I couldn't agree more with your analysis. I'm a huge fan of the Linux desktop, too, precisely because of the freedom of choice it offers.

What I wonder is what would you recommend as a replacement for Gnome right now? I'm currently on Xfce and had actually been thinking about going back to Gnome but that doesn't seem like a viable option anymore. Is KDE really worth it? I never gave it much of a chance because I always considered it too similar to Windows. What about Cinnamon, Mate or Budgie? I'd be really curious to hear a few thoughts on other desktop alternatives.

All the best
Hans
