And neither much contemplated that the interface that's appropriate for a mobile phone is not appropriate for a desktop. I still use Gnome 3, despite the many helpful suggestions to change. I don't find it quite as annoying as Windows 8 (where it's sometimes hard even to know how to close down an app), but I do find that: 1. I no longer use workspaces to manage different tasks unless there are lots of windows and then I sometimes overflow onto 2. This is because they're less useful as you now can't switch without going to the activities view and they aren't segregated well. At work I have a KDE desktop and use four routinely. 2. I do less with my computer. Fedora installs quite a lot of applications, some of which are interesting. Occasionally I'd spot something in a menu and think 'that's interesting', I don't do this any more. -- imalone http://ibmalone.blogspot.co.uk -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
