Some of you may have no idea how true that is. I am thankful every day
that I rarely have problems with KDE myself, because I wouldn't dare
go to irc://freenode/kde if I suspected I would have to mention that I
was on Fedora. Similarly, there are always a few "unnice" folks at
irc://freenode/fedora who will be more than willing to plainly state
that if one wants to use Fedora , ditch KDE (and similiar comments). I
myself have had such comments directed to me - the person must have
thought me to be some n00b who would run of and use their DE of choice
instead.
