I really don't understand when something is already goodAlbert 12/22/11 11:52 AM >>>
enough, why not try to keep it or make it perfect.
Traditional taskbar+start menu desktop environments are well catered for in the
Linux ecosystem.
KDE is great, xfce and lxde also. If you only interest is in 'good enough', and
you find that GNOME3 isn't good enough for your use case, then please, feel
free to experiment with those other environments - openSUSE is a distro that
likes its users to pick and choose (and if it's contributors decide to add
something like MATE into the mix, and put the work behind it to make it a
viable option, good for them and good for the distro)
Or alternatively, quit your belly-aching and actually provide the gnome team
with some constructive critique and we might actually be able to help make
gnome3 better for you and anyone else who feels like you.
To me, the GNOME SHELL is just the rubbish derivate of iOS . Why did
people always follow a dead body and admire him as the God of world? Why
CANN'T us be another Steve Jobs and create something new or make good
things better.
Gnome 3 is not derivative of iOS, nor is it rubbish, nor stupid, nor any of the
other disparaging terms you continue to use despite my request you be nice
In fact, it IS exactly what you are asking for, and attempt by the GNOME
project to "create something new" - a desktop environment that removes as many
distractions as possible from the user while still retaining full desktop
capabilities.
Have you actually used gnome-shell for any serious period of time? I'm getting
a growing impression you have a number of very serious misconceptions about the
interface, it's intended goals, and the realities of using it.

The description of MATE (from their own readme) makes me laugh....https://features.opensuse.org/312946user to choose GNOME2.X or GNOME3.X?The simple answer to this is... Gnome2.x is no longer developed, no
longer supported, and deprecated. It's no longer an option. openSUSE

"MATE Desktop Environment, a non-intuitive and unattractive desktop
for users, using traditional computing desktop metaphor."
MATE is not Gnome2... so my comment still stands Gnome2 is museum
fodder now.
I hope that MATE is a successful project.
