Debian is dropping GNOME3 as their default
desktop environment, and
going with XFCE. Why? Because they can't fit Debian+GNOME3 onto a
single CD.
I'll bet it would fit, if they would just remove all the code that is
in there just to nanny us.
But then it wouldn't be GNOME3, would it? ;-)
Gnome4 maybe? Surely that would be worthy of a higher version number,
indicating real progress.
I think they were trying to make Linux look like an iPad. Apps! Huge, clicky touchscreen
buttons! Meh.
I upgraded my 11-year-old daughter's laptop to Wheezy, and she loves the new Gnome. Go
figure.
I'm perfectly happy with ion3, thankyouverymuch, though xmonad looks pretty good too.
