When I learned what Gnome 3 was going to be like, I started looking for a

it is that you can configure it so that a right-click anywhere on the
desktop brings up your main menu; no need to go to the corner of the panel.
After a year working with Unity, my sister had me migrate her from Ubuntu to
Xubuntu.  If nothing else, try a LiveUSB with the Xfce spin; you may be
pleasantly surprised because it's much less of a resource hog than either
Gnome or KDE without being minimalist.

+1 for Xfce

I got introduced to it via Fedora for arm. With ONLY 1Gb on my Cubieboard2, it is nice that the desktop does not eat up all your memory. Particularly when I am only running with a SD card (I do have sata drive builds as well).

So I am more using Xfce and might even do my F21 beta on a notebook with it as well. Skip gnome all together on the next upgrade.
