>> That's part of the job. If you don't like it, too bad. Agreed, being forced to use what frustrates you sucks. I currently use xfce at home since its behavior and defaults more closely align with GNOME 2, Windows {XP, 7, 10}, fluxbox, blackbox, openbox, and GNUStep. All of those desktops / window managers provide enough customization and flexibility so I can setup things how I want them to work fast and be comfortable. >> Personally, I've been using Linux at work for ages and have never been forced to use Gnome; I've always been able to switch to something else, though it's not so well supported. The previous version of the enterprise Linux distro had more desktop environment choices. In the new version, they threw out everything but GNOME leading to the current frustration.
