When I first read this article, I got ready to post a hasty reply with all my pet hates about Gnome 3, Unity, etc, etc.
Then I remembered the original reason I started using Linux, as a native Windows user, and that is "Choice". So you don't like Gnome. Guess what? Don't use it! You have so many other choices of window managers available to you.
Shed a tear for those users on proprietary systems who don't have choice. Don't like the new Start menu? Nobody cares.
- gldalmaso 15y agoRight you are. Also, maybe since all the power-users are so dissatisfied, they could join and manage a new packaged Ubuntu, maybe OUBUNTU (old ubuntu). They have that choice. I for one am happy to have a linux distro geared towards everyday desktop use and modern devices, and that I can show my family/friends as an alternative choice and have them not reply that it's just so damn ugly.
- coffeeaddicted 15y agoI thought the same and starting trying out Window Managers. Until after a few installations/deinstallations I started getting conflicts and wasted a full weekend just getting back to a working system. Now I simply live with whatever my distros put on my desktops unless it got real stopper-bugs that prevent me from working. I guess the positive side is that I learn some new WM now regularly (a little more often this year than I'd hoped for maybe).
