What is the purpose of having more than one desktop environment like KDE or GNOME available for Linux?
ABUBEKEREOUSMANE
KDE and GNOME are the result of two different attempts to create a free and open-source desktop environment for Linux. KDE was created first. KDE used a widget toolkit known as "Qt", which was not open-source back then. Since some users wanted one that was completely open-source, even the toolkit, the GNOME project was created. Many users still liked KDE, though. Those who did not want to switch stuck with KDE. Those who insisted on free software chose GNOME. Later, the Qt toolkit was open-sourced, which removed much of the incentive for GNOME to exist, but enough users at that point like GNOME better, so development has continued.
