Hey, with gnome-tweak-tool and the dock extension, gnome-3.2 is starting to look almost usable.
Now I just hope those things become part of the standard gnome shell setup and made available in the regular “system config” thing rather than hidden off. Sure, make them default to off if you want that “clean default”, but make them easy to find and part of the standard install.
Or would that be too close to “Ok, we admit we were wong” and thus not politically acceptable?
With this message written by Linus Torvalds en G+, the controversy begins again about his opinion about Gnome 3. Let us remember that a few months ago this controversial character became Xfce by practically saying that Gnome 3 it was sloppy, and he needed something more usable to work with.
Well, now it tells us:
"Hey, with the Gnome Tweak tool and the Dock extension, Gnome 3.2 is starting to look almost usable."
So I imagine many users going back to Gnome 3 Just because Torvalds said that hahaha.
Seen in: HumanOS.
Old man, you could already translate it that I am lazy to read in English
The worst part of all this is that gnome is "more usable" due to the extensions and not the native tools themselves. Unlike in KDE, plasmoids add extra functionalities to the environment, but they do not contribute to making the environment "more usable".
What the gnome team should do is adopt the enhancements natively that these extensions provide.
I have used gnome-shell for several months and I definitely prefer xfce or lxde, I insist, they are more modifiable and consume less memory.

Linus Torvalds can say mass on X or Y desk, idiot who following a subjective point of view goes out to change desk for something someone says (famous or not, guru or not).
+1
I have Debian testing + KDE on one partition and Debian testing + XFCE on another and since I installed the latter to KDE I only open it to update.
There is nothing written about tastes and Linus Torvalds is not going to impose his on me, hahaha.
Exactly, each madman with his theme, I am a gnomer and I am afraid of him, in xfce I felt it as incomplete, but I have to admit that I have not tried it for a long time, although I have installed it on old machines for other people.
I like both Unity and Gnome 3 and I find them very easy to use, practical and beautiful and it seems to me that this is more customary and sentimental as it happens to me with some other software.
Well, what a Torvalds discovery (with some delay, heh). Since the release of Fedora 15 (which was the first Gnome 3 distro (gtk3 + mutter + gnome-shell, et al) you could already have Gnome-tweek-tool and most of the extensions out there now.
My sincere thanks and my respect to Linus, but sometimes he makes every hasty statement and even "trollera" (yes gnu, yes stallman, yes kde4, yes gnome3, yes P. de Asturias award, etc, etc .) that no longer what to say (ha).
Greetings.
Thirteen for the second time I tell you, the first distros with any version of gnome 3 are always two.
1) Gentoo
2) Arch Linux.
+1 HAHA
Maybe you are right and, if the case, I appreciate the clarification (for the second time), but I would also appreciate if you could give me the source of that information, because maybe I was left with a wrong idea, when the version of the official release of Gnome 3 it was announced on the Gnome site with two LiveCD trial versions of Fedora and Opensuse; and later right there Fedora 15 was announced as the first official distro with all the packages of the Gnome 3 project.
I don't know if you only mean the gnome 3 shell or the real one Arch and Gentoo were the first to have the first version (no release) of Gnome 3. If you only mean the shell, then we are talking about different things, but yes you mean the official version (April 2004), so I am left to acknowledge my mistake and lack of information.
Greetings.
Errata:
I meant: April 2011, hahaha
Keep in mind something, Fedora is the distro that brings the most things in each version, and I think, I'm not sure, that in Fedora they test things before releasing the stable version.
And please be more careful when writing
Luckily, what even the gurus say comes to my mind; i am happy using gnome-shell it adapts to what I ask of my desktop environment (the ability to search for "de facto" applications is spectacular)
see hahahaha, I'll stay with maverick until it is well developed Kill the classic Gnome fork: L
Welcome shini:
Good choice ^^
And it is what I see that many distros derived not only from Ubuntu, but those that use GNOME as a desktop do that, move to another desktop. And for color tastes… if Don Linus likes Gnome, he is as free to use it as any of us.
I use Xfce because of how light it is, plus how easy it is to handle and how customizable it has become (at least with xfce we can still enjoy Compiz and Emerald). : B
I had pending the opinion of this man -.-
