- bergie 14y agoThis seems to be a common reaction to new major versions. After KDE4 came out people also started their own KDE3 fork: http://www.trinitydesktop.org/about.php http://www.trinitydesktop.org/about.php

- bkor 14y agoDid you actually look at the commits? They're releasing new versions, but the amount of commits is very low. It seems pretty limited to running source code through lint, updated translations and fixing typo's in stuff that was changed. Anyway, this is not the future of GNOME. Different projects and all that.
- sandGorgon 14y agoCinnamon is a better alternative, since it is/will be default on Mint (THE most popular linux distro on distrowatch) and its built on GTK3 and the Gnome3 toolkits - which should be better supported going forward.
