Is gnome claiming to be older than kde? 'cause it isn't. Gnome was started because decades ago, the license for the qt library used by kde wasn't quite open enough.
i interpreted it as the user's first DE was gnome :)
Yeah, that would work.
CDE (common desktop environment) was proprietary afaik. Crazy times
It was. I think I used CDE very briefly on some Sun workstations back around the kde 1.x times. But lowly undergrads mostly got ttys and not X terminals.
I remember this and hate that I do.
It's been made by someone born after both Kde and Gnome is my take.
