I started my current Linux (Ubuntu) experience with Gnome as my default windows/desktop manager. I got used to it.
I tried working on KDE for a couple of days and found it to be frustrating. Maybe because my KDE installation was a bit buggy and things just did not work the way I wanted them to [...]

It’s not exactly free. Would last for a month before they make it an extra payment channel. Here is the proof…

I am for sure.
I can now safely say that my family is now part of that group which believes that loud DJs are cool at Engagement Ceremonies. And stage shows with scantly clad women performing to English and Hindi songs at marriage ceremonies is also fine.
