              @minti are you using Ubuntu or something else?

                  @minti Which for all purposes is basically Ubuntu without Unity

                  @minti "Ubuntu without Cannonical's crap" is how my boss likes to refer to it.

                  @minti Nice! fits your name xD but I'm using Ultimate edition which a Unity turned off my default and it uses Cinnamon

                    @shadowdash454 I tried Cinnamon, didn't like it much so I switched back to Mate xD

                      @minti I have never tried Mate but I guess I can at one point xD

                        @shadowdash454 It's a fork of Gnome2 apparently so. xD

                      @minti The only thing I disliked about Cinnamon was that I couldn't get it to run on my machine. XD

      @widget Cause it's loading all the fonts. I kid you not, you install word and suddenly 5 minutes added to your boot time.

      @widget Mate.

      @widget It's stupid, but true. xD Windows keeps all your fonts loaded into memory while it's on.

        @minti Windows y you do that xD

      2. Toothpaste Pony! Toothpaste Pony!

        @minti So if you have a lot of fonts, it affects boot time and memory usage by the OS xD

      @widget You know, GNOME3 doesn't have that issue hides

      @widget Can't you symlink the old name to the new one?

      @widget GNOME3 is actually pretty decent if you can ignore the fact that it likes to crash every now and then, but slightly less often than KDE4. I honestly enjoy using it.

        @omni I tried Gnome3, first thing I noticed was you could barely change anything. :( I removed it.

        1. Omni Omni

          @minti Having more settings available without gnome-tweak-tool would dramatically improve GNOME3, I agree there.

      @widget Well to be fair, if you installed a distro then changed the desktop environment I'd pretty sure that doesn't count as "normal" XD

      @widget Applets? Pfff, applets are so 20Java.

    13. Toothpaste Pony! Toothpaste Pony!

      @widget True, but again if you had scripts you made yourself that point to gnome-terminal rather than mate-terminal. xD

      @widget But yeah I see your point too. :p

      @widget I always hated this whole panel stuff on GNOME2, it caused quite an un-streamlined user experience. But hey, to each their own. It's Linux, after all, so we choose what we want :P

        @omni Yeah but Unity in Gnome3 is not very good for Desktops

        Wednesday, 03-Oct-12 17:22:47 UTC from web
        1. Omni Omni

          @shadowdash454 Still better than Windows 8. Also, even though Unity is based on GNOME3, I'm actually using GNOME3 when I say GNOME3, not Unity.

            @omni Yeah I like Gnome 3 better with Unity turned off expect it crashes sometimes
