GNOME Gets Favored Over KDE In Ubuntu’s Next Version
The battle for the best Linux desktop still continues as Ubuntu’s sponsor Canonical announced that KDE will not be included in its Long Term Support (LTS) for the next release. Since the upcoming version of KDE, KDE 4.0, still has a long way to go, Kubuntu Desktop lead Scott James Remnant explains that KDE is not mature enough to be included in the LTS. Ubuntu is to release version 8.0, Hardy Heron, in April 2008.

GNOME, the default user interface for Ubuntu, will receive the support, but KDE won’t. The reason, according to Canonical, which sponsors Ubuntu and is trying to make a business of selling the support contracts, is simply that KDE is at an awkward transitional period between two versions, the old-line 3.5 and the imminent and significantly different 4.0.
Though Ubuntu-KDE users are relatively small compard to Ubuntu-GNOME users, KDE still deserves the same attention that GNOME gets. But with its upcoming release of version 4.0 set close to the release of Hardy Heron, it is a case of bad timing.
