Desktop environment

In graphical computing, a desktop environment is a graphical user interface that links the end-user to the computer through a series of abstractions of the information processing units. I use the K Desktop Environment since about 2000 or so. I used to rely on fwmv before, which was also great, to some extent, superior to kde, but one cannot remain stuck that much in the past (however superior it was).
