    difficult for you to distinguish at a quick glance

    That's what I'm saying though. You're just mincing words. If you look at GNOME and then look at KDE, you're not going to see very many similarities. The choices are clear.

    They're going for drastically different things. So yeah, it's obvious; they're not trying. They haven't done a single search.

      No, the choices are absolutely not clear in any way. The literal only way to learn the differences in function is to use them.

          I'm absolutely not. You're projecting your experience onto people who don't have it.

          The idea that the average user can learn literally anything about how an OS works from a screenshot of a desktop or a table of features that means nothing to them is delusional. They have no frame of reference for any of it. It's completely and utterly meaningless.
