Title: Why do I do it
Post by: D-Dan on Dec 25, 2010, 01:21:50
I like the Gnome desktop. I'm familiar with it, I can customise it to my liking, it's light on resources and it does everything I want.

So why do I get an urge every now and then to try KDE, and not the sensible way by downloaded kubuntu and testing the live CD. Oh no, not me. I pop along to synaptic and install KDE from there. Unfortunately, every time I do I hate it, but have you ever tried removing it? It just trashes my system and I finish up reinstalling from scratch.

On the plus side, I managed to boot to a working (sort of) system long enough to recover configuration files etc. to a separate drive. Started the reinstall at midnight, and watched the tail end of Father Ted on the newly installed system from 1am - all drivers, software and customisations back in place where they should be :)

Now, you can't reinstall Windows and your software that quickly or that easily  :evil:
