- bretthoerner 15y agoOK...? The ancestors are talking about running Xubuntu and XFCE.
- muuh-gnu 15y agoMint will be running "Gnome 3", the framework, but not "gnome-shell", the user interface. Unity itself is similarly just a interface atop Gnome 3. Mint will be running its own new environment called "MGSE" (mint gnome-shell extensions), which is basically gnome-shell customized to look and behave like Gnome 2, because that traditional desktop experience is what most current users want and can get neither with Unity nor gnome-shell, which both have basically abandoned their traditional desktop user base and are now betting their future on tablets.
- sixtofour 15y agoMint has a version that uses LXDE rather than Gnome.
