Man I remember when Gnome 3 first came out, caused so much butthurt that it caused not one, not two, but several competitors to show up. Mate (for the don’t change anything purists), cinnamon, unity. It was nuts but that first few iterations of Gnome3 were garbage. I was a KDE guy at the time and was excited for KDE4…
Yeah. Even they shit the bed. But I think we’re all good now. Its been awhile most everyone has sorted themselves out. Just a funny time for Linux desktop.
It’s Windows 8 all over again.
try out other DEs… gnome has a direction they are going in, and there are other projects that might be what you think is more desktop oriebted design, help them out. i know you’ve probably this all before, but yeah, no point in getting worked up over things we can’t control…
I really like how gnome looks and functions, if you don’t there are several alternatives. But it’s all Linux, with such a small market share we can’t afford to splinter into different groups, if you’re using any form of Linux it’s great.
Yeah I don’t care for these toxic, polarizing posts. I like GNOME, and it’s my preferred workflow. Anyone who disagrees is entitled to use what they want.
I don’t like KDE, but I can understand that it’s a workflow that could work for someone else. I don’t shit on them for it.
