Sure i will accept that 'rest day ' and release day' are good goals. I switched to XFCE two months, maybe longer ago, whenever it was that this Gnome 3 or gnome-shell 'thing' first appeared in Rawhide. Why? Becasue it broke my desktop. Actually I am not exactly sure why but I know that I need *real* Nvidia drivers for my reasonably modern GeForce 5800 GTX card to work properly. The Linux drivers do not work as they should. For me. And something about the version of Xorg and this, or a combination of theses, makes major problems for me. Broke my desktop and the general Gnome 'expected to work things'. No one else has these problems? Maybe. More than likely 'no one else' *yet*! What for now? After the release? Best wishes. Do as you wish of course. I would suggest that you offer this as a option. A 'try this' and if it works *great* but if it blows up get easily back this way. I appreecaite all of the work that you people do. Really. But there are times that I disagree with the marketing paths you take. The 'fallback' IMO should not be that but be a 'try this' with the 'fallback' defaulted if a failure happens. -- David -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
