While I still care somewhat of distro differences for functional reasons, I completely agree that DE’s are the most important part in terms of user experience.
Both my machines use KDE, and while they run two different distros, they look and feel pretty much the same since I use a very similar layout on both of them. This, along with file sync through my NAS and similar apps, makes switching from one computer to the other a breeze (pun not intended), despite some differences under the hood.
Fair!
The vote resulted negatively, BTW, as far as I’ve heard. 32-bit are there for now.
