Perhaps we could stop this discussion. Users with performance issues should consider, before switching from another DE to GNOME3, simply to read the GNOME FAQ. https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects/GnomeShell/FAQ , e.g. https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects/GnomeShell/FAQ#GNOME_shell_does_not_seem_to_work_with_my_video_card._What_can_I_do.3F . Before switching to GNOME3 it also doesn't harm to Google, search terms including the hardware + the usage of the computer + GNOME3. There are known issues, this neither is FUD, nor is something very wrong with machines that can't run GNOME. Regards, Ralf PS: My apologies, I first sent from a wrong account.
