On openSUSE, I've probably an even split proportionally among TDE,KDE3 & Plasma 5. On Debian & *buntu I use TDE exclusively. On Mageia & Fedora I probably have close to an even split between TDE & Plasma 5. When I find out Neon has moved to Noble, I'll be trying Plasma 6. I think overall I clearly have more TDE installations than any other DE, while in uptime, KDE3 is way out front. -- Evolution as taught in public schools is, like religion, based on faith, not based on science.
