Yes, Windows is constantly improving (not sure about Windows 8). Meanwhile, Linux desktop is doing CADT. http://www.jwz.org/doc/cadt.html > Stability? Errors from the moment I log in. Can you tell which program crashes? I don't have this myself but I've heard of similar things. > Comfort? Not even funny. I don't know what you exactly mean. If GNOME (S)hell and Unity annoyed you. GNOME hell is hell, they just break a quite successful desktop metaphor and give some half baked tablet metaphor instead. I encourage GNOME refugee to use MATE (GNOME 2 fork) or Xfce. They both have several solvable glitches but after all decent. Unity is probably not appealing to Windows (before 8) or GNOME 2 users. It is actually quite familiar for those who used to OS X metaphor. It is more buggy, unfortunately. I met some Wine and NM that only happens on Unity, I don't have a clue. Last but not least, Unity uses many GNOME components anyway, so any GNOME's junk will eventually pass to Unity. > Bugfixes faster? Not any more. It depends on distribution I guess.

For WMA support, shouldn't you just install ubuntu-restricted-extras package at once? ( I do see this as a bug, I haven't used WMA for years, can you tell me how to get a WMA file for test? ) Anyway, GNOME devs remove features (Yes, Present Simple Tense). I'd check whether MATE forked Totem. The future of Totem, I believe, looks like: https://live.gnome.org/Design/Apps/Videos ( You should indeed put your hope on brands other than GNOME ) > Well i'm gonna go back to lucid or even smth earlier...

What about Mageia? Mageia is a Mandriva fork that seems to have a quite active and healthy community. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1045914 Title: Keyboard layout doesn't show in GNOME Shell session To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell/+bug/1045914/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
