I have to admit that I have not been following this thread except for the first few posts from which I gathered the argument for/against Gnome3 Vs Gnome2 all over again (and again and again).
With this background to my post now, have a look at this:

and tell me if this contributes in any way to the G3 vs G2 "debate"? :-)

Not really sure what that link adds to the debate. Slide number two is of particular interest, and I think we should port that greetermajig. http://www.networkworld.com/slideshow/25030?source=NWWNLE_nlt_linux_2012-01-...
I actually thought that someone would find slide #5 interesting.

I thought about it. And before I'll start I have to admit that I never used Linux Mint in the past, and probably never want due to I'm through with everything Ubuntu-related ("But Kim, Linux Mint is something completely different, it's Ubuntu done right!" "Stop talking, save your breath, I won't care....) Anyway, I claim that Linux Mint is *only* the better choice over Ubuntu *if* you don't want to use Unity, which is in fact just a forked GNOME 3 fake, and a completely wast of time ("Kim, how dare you? Unity rocks!" "Yeah, nice for you, same as above.") I don't want to rant on Unity that much, to me, it's just a fork that exists because Canocical was pissed by the fact thet Red Hat took lead on the GNOME 3 development. Next time, Canonical is getting pissed, it should compare the @redhat.com domains with the @canonical.com domains on the GNOME mailinglists and then decide if a fork is necessary. About GNOME 3: extensions.gnome.org seems to be promising. Let's see what happens if more add-ons arrive. I guess most critics will be blown away. In the end, GNOME 3 beats them all. Mint will be a fish bowl for all these "GNOME-3-sucks-I-want-back-something-sane"-users, also known as "learning resistant" or "classical desktop lovers". Ubuntu will stay for the beginners, fanboys and for your TV (yeah, it's comming) and openSUSE will satisfy the rest ;-) BTW, I did some provocative comments about Ubuntu, Unity and Mint, if anyone feels offended by that, I can understand if you want to punch me in the face (not literally, on the thread of course ;-) ), so 1,2,3,4 fight! ;-) --kdl PS: Ubuntu's quite okay for beginners and professionals who don't want to configure their systems that much and just need something working, and Unity has it advantages, for sure, but to do something _real_ important with it, it falls flat on its face. -- Kim Leyendecker, openSUSE Wiki Team GPG Key: 664265369547B825 | leyendecker@opensuse.org http://www.opensuse.org - Linux for open minds -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
