I doubt security issues with Gnome 2 will somehow affect popularity with home users. Also I doubt the issues will be higher than say with LXDE or any other desktop.
What people see are the crashes, instability, visual artefacts, of which Unity and Gnome 3 are full so far (and which impacts security as well - how can you feel secure on a system which frequently crashes?).
And I doubt that such topics belong to a marketing-list.
And where do they belong then?
Sorry, we had have enough GNOME 2 threads in the past, I guess it´s enough.
This is not really thread about Gnome2 but about a new leader among Linux distributions in terms of user base and popularity and how it is possible to learn from their lessons.
About the GNOME 2 fork: Mint will ship it, maybe we´ve some volunteers who package it via OBS, then it would be easy to create a live CD with SUSE Studio and we could also ship our own version.
But please *stop* this discussions for now. If you really want to talk about GNOME 2, support the GNOME 2 fork.
Even if you find such volunteers (actually would be quite difficult given the easiness of changing to a distribution where all is already done), the moment will be gone already to make any earns from it. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+owner@opensuse.org
