So what does /gentoo/ think of Gnome 3.14?
No.205
I would also like to know this. I only tried Gnome just a bit, with Ubuntu Gnome, and it took me a minute to lose myself in desktop drivel and lose interest in the Gnome.
And I'm a KDE user.
No.208
>>201In my opinion it looks really great. But it seems like that's it. A majority of people that use Linux like the minimal aspect and this kinda cuts into that. I'm sure users will be able to disable most, if not all of the animations and such, so it might not be so bad.
No.210
>>201I use Fedora 20 GNOME 3.10 on my laptop and I really enjoy using it.
When Fedora 21 comes out I will give 3.14 a try but so far I think I will like it.
My desktop's DE is GNOME 3.4 classic on Debian Wheezy, I just can't get myself to use anything else on it as it feels good using.
No.234
>>201I like it. They look like they're following suite with KDE5 and going for the whole "super modern" theme. The less gloss, the better. Apple really ruined computing for the last ten years with that, so having something that's not glossy and not the disgusting grab bag of Crayola colors that is Windows 8+ is great.
No.240
I don't mind 3.14 as much as I was distraught with Gnome 3 in the beginning.
>dat bloat, though
I still prefer spectrwm.
No.245
Gnome is slow on anything not nVidia
No.265
people say its not that bad with addons but i just cant use any DE after using i3 its just so much faster and more productive. its just painful to use ant other interface other than tiling now.
No.302
>>265Then please help them either to start working on i3 for Wayland (it's been in stable for months now..) or contribute to porting it.
Right now i3 is the only tiling wm that has even MENTIONED on THINKING of porting to wayland. This is their page regarding it:
http://www.i3way.org/>i3way does not currently include a single line of code.This needs to get rolling.
No.334
>>302this is very important
also, loliwm is probably almost finished by now for wayland

Gnome Shell with Numix is like 10/10 sexy DE. Not necessarily the most usefull one, but I still managed to develop a fast Workflow with it and I'll stick with it for a while.
I think for people that are not into Linux for that long (for me its about 2 years now), stuff like Gnome is a real hypnotic thing that forces you into linux.
It is quite intuitive and with some plugins it becomes powerfull.
Also been able to convert 3 of my friends from windows to linux.
Now after some struggle they say, they cannot understand how gay windows DE and windows by itself is, and find the console cool (as we all started writing angular and node stuff, it comes pretty handy).
No.349
>>347I think GNOME is what is needed in the Linux world, now I do think they make some idiotic choices but I love the DE.
No.351
>>349It looks really good and simple, which is great to get more people into Linux. However, I don't really like the way it does stuff (at least out of the box, not sure if you can tweak the configurations or not). Some examples: only 1 window showing in the control panel, couldn't find out how to get 2x2 workspaces.
If there's a way to change that, I'd love to know.
No.353
>>351It doesn't do 2x2 workspaces OOTB, you have to install a plugin.
No.354
>>353>>351Extension from extensions.gnome.org I mean.

Why the fuck are people in gentoo using gnome/kde?
No.386
>>385Because they are nice.
I just use out of the box Wheezy.
No.400
>>201I think it's ok but I always have issues with it. I always have issues with any DE though so I gave up on DEs and just use X + a window manager as a DE and it seems to jus werk unlike Gnome or Unity. ever tried KDE though.
No.402
>>385Why not? I'm running Gentoo with GNOME shell and bspwm.

it's bloatware
i3 > Mate > Xfce > Gnome

>>201Gnome 3 is polarizing. 90% of everyone who knows about it either love it or hate it.
I personally think it's the best
