Re: gnome shell versus mate

2016-03-31 Thread Christopher Chaltain
I prefer Gnome myself. I like the dash, being able to add items to my favorites and the top bar to get to settings and things. That being said, I run Mate on my netbook since the interface is simpler and a bit less CPU and memory intensive. Mate also has the same look and feel as the old Gnome
