Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Xubuntu Mark Shuttleworth, founder of Canonical, recently did an interview with derStandard in which he discussed issues with Ubuntu's latest release, innovation, the future of GNOME, and other subjects. Perhaps the most interesting thing he said is that Linux does not yet deliver "a good enough user experience." Of course, you could say that of any operating system. Editor's Note: QT-based Gnome was also an interesting point-of-view.

Quite a bit of the work that's gone into Qt 4.3, 4.4, and 4.5 has been driven by KDE4.

It's true that they don't have the same relationship that GNOME has with GTK, though.

But if things were to go too badly, KDE could always just fork it. Then they would have complete control over it as well, they'd just need to come up with the developers.
