"Anyway, KDE may be good for starters, like someone said people can play around with control center, change background images etc. which may help them feel at home with the new OS. This is fine, but how about advanced users? "
That would appear to be the point. It's going to be called "UserLinux" not "HackerLinux". I agree with the parent post. If you want to use GNOME, fine, but you have to make it palatable to the "Users" if you want it to play in Peoria. I started on Linux at 0.99 so I don't have a religious GUI axe to grind. I do however have a few hundred users to support and they, almost without exception, prefer KDE. So, as the parent post said, use GNOME but fix it for "Users".
