Ubuntu with Gnome 2 was really a good user experience back then. Gnome 3 is all about the desktop/mobile convergence, yet nobody to this day uses Gnome 3 on a mobile. Was it worth it ? Sometimes, it may be better to narrow your niche instead of trying to be everything to everyone.
- jdub 10y agoUnity was all about desktop/mobile convergence. GNOME 3 was not.
- sunseb 10y agoI should have said "touch-enabled mobile experience." That's where Gnome is going : http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=GNOME-4.0-Three-Years http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=GNOME-4.0...
- jdub 10y agoOK, so: a) Phoronix. Grain of salt, please. b) Motivating ideation is not a plan. It was never the case that 10x10, GNOME 4.0, 20x20, GNOME OS (proposed more than a decade earlier btw) were widely accepted goals of the project. They were thought experiments. Judge open source projects on their activity and output, not the claims of non-participating bloggers.
- herbst 10y agoGnome 3 is actually a awesome System for a Desktop. You are referring to Unity i assume (as others already corrected)
