It's a programming thingclasse wrote:Hi,
What's the difference between "Debian desktop environment" and "GNOME" ?
During my installation of Debian 9.6, I selected the option of "GNOME" on the screen of "Software selection", and then, after finished the installation, I can login the GNOME environment;
But, if I selected "Debian desktop environment" instead of "GNOME", the login environment was still GNOME !
So, what's the difference between "Debian desktop environment" and "GNOME" ?
or "Debian desktop environment" = "GNOME" ?
If they were the same, why "Debian desktop environment" ?
Thanks
and when has a programming thing ever made any sense to normal people?
Yes you get the same thing if you choose Debian desktop environment OR Gnome
If one chooses both Debian desktop environment and Gnome you get something else. It's a programming thing.
Like milomak said above it's really not the same at all
even if it appears that way to normal people. It's a programming thing!
