It's not clear from the above whether those of us who just can't cope with Gnome3 (even if/when we want to) will be able to go on using Fedora. What is the difference between Workstation and other desktops? Can we still adopt apps from others? (I'm thinking F21W plus Konqueror, Mate-workspace manager, Gnome-terminal, etc.) I've been sticking to Mate and Xfce for the most part. I have Gnome3 on one machine, and try to use it a little every day, but it's still counter-intuitive and counter-productive for my uses. At such rare times as I know exactly how to get to an app I want, it takes me twice as many keystrokes or mouse clicks as Gnome2,or Xfce4, or Mate, often with waits in among them. That means I lose my train of thought. I don't run servers and wouldn't touch the cloud with a mushroom. So it's workstation or nothing, afaict; and if workstation means having to fight Gnome3, then with great reluctance I'll have to jump distro. I don't know how many other users may be in the same boat. My impression is that I'm by no means alone. -- Beartooth Staffwright, Not Quite Clueless Power User Remember I know little (precious little!) of where up is. -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
