Hi Victor,
Give the live DVD, (or live USB, or SD card) of Linux Mint 13 KDE a try.
It is LTS (Long Term support) with 5 years of support. Linux Mint 13 KDE
is what several of my friends & myself, use and love.
GNOME fallback mode has just been eliminated from any future versions of
GNOME. A lot of people don't like Unity, & GNOME3 is so unpopular, that THE
GNOME project is going to try to make GNOME 4 more traditional like GNOME 2.
The 2011 Members' Choice Awards from LinuxQuestions.org has honored the KDE
Community with "Best Desktop Environment of the Year". "

Cheers,
Elcaset
