Yes, a very plausible summary.

People say that. Gnome is perhaps big, and confident,
while KDE is more low-key but not without charm and
subtle elegance. (Just speculating.)

I don't know what to think of Ubuntu on the device
market. People say Android is open, but it sure doesn't
feel like a Linux system. I guess you could say even
Windows is "open" because it is portable. Linux on cell
phones won't make it any worse, I don't think, but will
it make it better? I hope so!
