The Crisis of Linux on Desktop
I have no problem with KDE as my desktop - its fast, love the whole eye candy experience and whatever KDE shipped with Kubuntu 11.10 has been nicely stable (compared with 11.04) - no crisis here brother.
Big thanks to the team at KDE and Kubuntu - you folk rock!
tl;dr: Chicken Little doesn't like Gnome 3, notes that some other don't either, and that some of them are switching to XFCE.
