Thanks, but they obviously put all of their fine work into the Gnome front-end and using a different spin doesn't get you any of that. The number of customizations that need to be installed and maintained between updates to make this OS X-like abomination usable is ridiculous.
- teh_klev 11y agoSure, and all the maintainers of all the other front ends such as KDE, xfce, lxde, compiz etc have been putting all their own fine work into their own UI's. Gnome is a product of the Gnome project, it just happens to be the default desktop shipped by Fedora, and I guess they had to pick one at some point in the mists of time. I ran KDE across three versions of Fedora (18,19 and 20), I didn't encounter any problems each time I upgraded or updated. I don't see the logic or reasoning behind your complaint.
- WorldWideWayne 11y agoYou don't understand the logic that - as the default desktop shipped by Fedora, the Gnome desktop version has things that the others don't? I've been using Linux since the 90's. Generally, if you don't go with the default desktop you lose things. Important things like the entire UI for your package manager. So, to me it's like putting a dingleberry on top of a really nice cone of ice cream.
- bigger_cheese 11y agoI've been using Cinnamon as my desktop in Fedora for a long time now works fine 'out of the box'. Like a lot of people here I Fedup my system only thing I've noticed recently is yum->DNF change I'm too lazy to learn the new package manager and it keeps giving me a message that yum is depreciated I'm sure at some point I'll have to switch.
- iamtew 11y agoMost (if not all) options are the same, you could just add an alias in your profile: alias yum='dnf' Has worked fine for me since F21 :-)
