GNOME?!

Posted by Extravisual on Aug. 23, 2011, 8:25 p.m.

So my computer fucked up. It suddenly decided that it wasn't going to allow USB ports to function while Windows was running. They'd work in bios and whatnot, but would just cease functioning as soon as Windows started to load. I decided it was time for a fresh installation, but first I had to save my data.

I went to download Fedora and I had the choice between KDE and GNOME. In the past I much preferred GNOME, so I went with it. What the hell happened to GNOME? Its interface is terrible. It's so simplified, almost as though it was designed for my grandmother. Reminded me more of a smartphone than a PC. It was awful, I used to like GNOME, but this was near unusable.

So here I am using KDE. So much better. I don't get why GNOME is as it is. When did this happen? And why? :(

I used XFCE way back in the day. I never bothered with it since I had a decent computer. Maybe I'll check it out.

Is it bad that sometimes I have to slightly fight the urge to cut my hand in half when I see a pizzacutter?

Running the latest version of Ubuntu now (after having gone through 3 versions of Fedora). Thank god this version of Ubuntu still uses an older version of Gnome (or something). It's far better than the version Fedora was using.

Not for long…

Ubuntu 11.04 does still use GNOME 2, but 11.10, due October, will use GNOME 3 too, and it will be all Unity by default.

Well I shan't be switching if I decide to stick with Ubuntu. Very tempting, as I hardly even play games anymore.
