Many users were waiting for this news and finally is between us Linux Mint 12 "Lisa", the distribution that tries to transmit the same experience to the users of Gnome 2, with Gnome 3.
How to achieve this? Because with MGSE, a group of extensions for Gnome Shell that try to offer the same functionalities as Gnome 2. However, if we want we can also use MATE, a fork of Gnome 2 which is not yet 100% stable, but will undoubtedly improve little by little.
About the changes we had already previously spoken, a renewed Artwork, many corrections and a new default search engine, so now you only have to download it in this link.
I tried the RC in principle, I liked it, but when I saw the excessive consumption of RAM I was quite disappointed.
Thanks for the news, the truth is that I was waiting for it. Of course, the LinuxMint website is quite pecked. It seems that there were many people wanting to sink their teeth!
By the way, is it the Ubuntu version or is it the Debian version? The one I want is LMDE !!!
That is the Ubuntu based version.
LMDE depends on the Debian Testing repositories, so the release cycle is not the same 😀
I think they have managed to give it a classic touch that makes you forget that you use gnome 3 shell, great job.
Although I think they need to update the icons, for example to faience. And the windows theme (close, minimize and maximize button) I liked the mint-x better.
I'm sure they are things that will be polished little by little. The good thing about LM is that they listen to their Community a lot, so if maybe someone proposes (or yourself) those ideas, they will be heard and carried out 😀
