Ive been running upgrading on a debian (testing) system.
Then one day I saw the dreaded word "pulseaudio" in the list of proposed
updates and I quickly hit the Ctrl-C. Been much more careful about
updating/upgrading thereafter.
So is the recommended solution to stay with xfce now and ditch gnome?
I've been told that Gnome3 desktop uses 1GB
RAM without running
anything else.
AFAIK this isn't true, but when Debian updated my GNOME 2 to GNOME 3 a
long time ago, GNOME 3 and GNOME 3 in "fake GNOME 2" mode did need much
more CPU resources, than GNOME 2 did need.
Xfce4 and LXDE anyway do provide the common workflow, that is used by
studios. I guess most engineers are accustomed to a workflow similar to
KDE3, GNOME2, Win 98 se, Win XP etc..
IMO both, Xfce and LXDE are very good to use and I don't miss that much
of what I was accustomed to, when I used GNOME 2. I recommend not to use
GNOME 3.
