So they dropped "fallback mode", but they add "gnome classic" :D. Is it still wasting as much resources as fallback mode did? Molybdomancy: Next time they'll event a thingy to keep faces, that will be nothing more or less than old faithful GNOME2. The nv driver isn't maintained anymore, some distros keep the latest, others, e.g. Debian dropped it. Since nouveau and even the proprietary driver cause pain for even some current, often used Nvidia graphics and additionally many people still prefer an old faithful desktop workflow, instead of a "mobile feeling", GNOME2 will try to come back. Until now KDE and GNOME were the major DEs for Linux. "The Times They Are A-Changin'", KDE and Xfce will be the DEs that will lead in the near future. GNOME already is dead :p. Also to bear in mind, many people swamp mailing list, because of audio issues, regarding to pulseaudio, because they guess PA is needed by GNOME3. It isn't :D. At the moment I don't like any Linux distro, since all try to be as opportunistic as possible, but the users aren't :p. FWIW I won an iPad, it's not delivered until now. I suspect that this will be a similar pain as GNOME3 is, since Android shouldn't work OOTB with this Apple thingy. Btw. I don't know Android, perhaps it's more worse than those proprietary thingies, but I don't think so. Résumé: GNOME3 might emulate the workflow of some bad Apple and Microsoft systems, but why should the Linux community allow to be assimilated by the Borg? http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/b/b2/Borg_insignia.png/100px-Borg_insignia.png ;) Ralf -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
