The latest stable release of Gnome, version 2.24, has been released. Read the release notes for feature highlights and screenshots. I think the focus in this release in Gnome mobile, which enables developers to roll out application on mobile devices.

I prefer the Gnome to KDE. Quite a lot… The look is elegant, and the user interface is simple but very functional. (The looks of KDE is a bit too gaudy for my taste :)) Also, internationalization and accessibility has always been their top priority. (I do dislike the detached-windows model of The GIMP, but hey it’s just one naughty app)

I don’t mind the KDE fans, but I kind of despise the state of Indonesian Linux media in which Gnome is bashed a lot with full sentiments, thinking that the whole Indonesian population are all KDE fans. They use inappropriate words and always try to brainwash potential new Linux users claiming “KDE is superior technologically and visually, GNOME sucks hard” in every chance. I think both are great and its just a matter of preference. Linux journalists and writers, please rewrite your sentence so that it won’t be insulting. We’re all supposed to be friends, not enemies, you know…
