Reminds me of some mad attempts to debug some problem in Unity/GNOME... I gave up pretty fast after stranding on orphaned freedesktop.org pages.. I distinctly remember ranting on reddit about the problems and I've got a few .odt presentations from GNOME developers that not so really explained some concepts.. it's a different world. I can't judge if it's better this way for the Desktop but I've found it impossible to debug without sacrificing enormous time and energy about things I'd never wanted to deal with.
Stark contrast has been xCAT by IBM.. it's used to manage clusters of 10000 machines and it's only small readable Perl and Shellscripts.. totally awkward at the beginning but once you get a grasp it's a flexible power tool.
- anon4 12y agoA friend of mine calls it "desktrap loonix". The sad part is it's still better than windows.
- allegory 12y agoDespite punching windows in the face a while back, I don't agree that GNOME is anywhere near windows. Not even going back to windows 2000.
- anon4 12y ago>GNOME Oh dear Eris, don't get me wrong, I don't claim GNOME in particular is a software fit for any purpose. My point was more like that the base system is still really good and systemd even with its failings is better than dealing with Windows. As for the desktop, there's enough choice that you should be able to find something that's maximally convenient while minimally retarded, with a small amount of customization. That something will most surely not be GNOME. That's kind of what I mean - it's gotten worse in some ways, but you can still pick your poison and it's not as bad as having to deal with whatever retardation Microsoft come up with.
