You mean Gnome 3? There are other desktops.
- adrianN 9y ago"There are other desktops" is a symptom of endless tinkering with the UI.
- dingdingdang 9y agoExactly this yes.
- JetSpiegel 9y agoOr a recognition that one-size-fits-all doesn't work. Different desktops have different goals.
- adrianN 9y agoI completely agree. I like having choice too. But for mass adoption you need a polished solution that works out of the box, not a bunch of Lego. The answers to users complaining shouldn't be "have you tried alternative software X?"
- JetSpiegel 9y agoI think Gnome being the next default for Ubuntu will solve that problem, but mass adoption requires more than that.
