- Tichy 15y agoYeah, I just meant I had similar troubles with Unity.
- davidw 15y agoRight. In Gnome 3, you don't even seem to get launchers that you can add where you want. You get some kind of activities thing. I want to press a button and get a new rxvt, not go play activities with the teletubbies. Xfce looks like it may be an interesting alternative at this point. Gnome "fallback", or "classic" mostly does what I want, but with a name like that, it doesn't sound like something that will get much love/maintenance in the future.
- Tichy 15y agoReminds me of how I would configure Windows XP to classic view immediately after installation for years...
- BHSPitMonkey 15y agoUnfortunately, you (and I) are no longer GNOME's audience; We aren't who they're interested in targeting anymore. This would irk me less if GNOME 3 was a new/separate project instead of the future of GNOME 2, but c'est la vie. I've been trying to use XFCE instead, but in reality it falls short of GNOME 2 in so many ways it could never be a replacement. Fortunately, some people have forked GNOME 2 and plan on continuing its development under the name MATE, and they have Ubuntu/Debian repositories up. https://github.com/Perberos/Mate-Desktop-Environment https://github.com/Perberos/Mate-Desktop-Environment
- jiggy2011 15y agoI'm not sure who their audience is. There are other people making much more usable desktops for the general populace. I like gnome2 because I can customise the hell out of it and have things like separate task bars on each monitor.
