Hi List New thread-old topic, sick of the old one! Sorribouthat. I've been watching the discussion of Linus's thoughts and Gnome 3.2 and after all can't see what the problem may be. Some like some not, some are devs, engineers and system ops, some not, each to his own. I played with, I think it's Gnome 3, on the Fedora 16 dvd a number of times, it's different but usable. I find I like it better than the Ubuntu Unity equivalent. I don't like and can see no reason for the huge glunky Icons in either version. Monster mash on the left side of Unity and dinner plates with a huge right hand side side panel in Fedora 16, they've gotta do better than that! I use the terminal in both with no difficulty. I drive both operating systems adequately and the few apps I use seem to behave. What's to worry about! The only thing that took getting used to for me was not having my most used icons on the top bar -- but so what, I've moved on! Do the latest Fedora and Ubuntu work as needed, yes! No problems to date. Of some curiosity is the adjacent discussion about tablets. It seems tablets are mainly portrait and monitors are landscape, maybe this is why the devs put the icons down the side, gotta be some reason. There's room for both. I couldn't do blender, Inkscape, Scribus or Drupal on a tablet, touch screen or not. The truly boring part of the discussion is the endless repetition of what has gone before because the poster does not trim the post to relevancy, so posts get to couple hundred words plus of historical drivel, some dating back weeks. Scrolling down through endless drivel to find the latest comment = <delete immediately> because the comment when found will inevitably be guff. The Gnome3.2 discussion is, to me, a classic example of the reasons for top posting if only to reduce the clutter. How's that for reinventing the merry-go-round!
