Gnome GNOME 2.19.2 has been released. "This is our second development release on our road towards GNOME 2.20.0, which will be released in September 2007. New features are still arriving, so your mission is simple: go download it. Go compile it. Go test it. And go hack on it, document it, translate it, fix it."

Wel Gnome isn't competing with KDE, it's simply giving everybody an alternative desktop experience. I'm a Gnome user, and I'm eager to try KDE4, but in the end I'll choose the one that best suits my needs.

Currently I need simplicity and Gnome gives it to me both functionally and aesthetically. Maybe I'll change with KDE4. I don't know yet before I try.

But one thing I'm sure I feel - Gnome devs are not battling KDE and vice versa, they're showing us the power of true choice.

True, it's no battle in the sense of kill or be killed - but they are of course competing. Both desktops aspire to be THE linux desktop, after all. Of course I'm pretty sure most would prefer to take marketshare off of Microsoft, and they do.
