I just tried gnome-shell and so far I liked it. With xorg-edgers ppa and bleeding nouveau drivers, it is smooth and fast on my aging laptop.
Granted, I spend most of my time in terminal and use GUI to launch Chrome, Thunderbird and GIMP (mostly via Alt-F1 and typing name of app), but still, I like it so far.
On a new laptop I plan to try again KDE (after 1 year working in gnome) just to see how far it went, but I strongly advise anyone on Ubuntu 11.10 at least try gnome-shell - it is so easy, so you will not waste much time if you not like it.
- shellehs 15y agoI prefer super key the Alt+F*, less labor, and faster and easy to notice the input area than KDE Alt+F2 like. I have used to move mouse on screen up-left corner to see the windows thumbnails view. then the windows became hard to distinquish. On KDE, they have diffrent size or shape, and icons over the thumbnails.GNOME has the same size and shape, and the window's name is too small to read. the sidebar, the dock whatever, useless to me.
