| HardWareGuy | You know... I wouldn't trust wordpress for a distro's homepage. | 20:59 |
|---|---|---|
| HardWareGuy | Does ubuntu-gnome use debian unstable/testing as the source for gnome stuff or do they package in things on their own, i guess a mix of both | 21:12 |

| darkxst | HardWareGuy, this cycle we are largely in sync with debian/experimental, however generally in many other cycles we would be ahead of debian | 22:31 |
| HardWareGuy | Kubuntu is made by a lot of KDE guys, many gnome guys in gnobuntu too? | 22:34 |
| HardWareGuy | Or are the gnome devs more in fedoraland | 22:35 |
| darkxst | most of the gnome desktop team is employed by Red Hat, so Fedora | 22:40 |
| darkxst | we do however work with upstream gnome as well | 22:41 |
| darkxst | that I don't believe many of the core gnome devs have much to do with actual packaging etc on Fedora | 22:42 |
| HardWareGuy | The design is pretty stock right now, going to make some changes? coloration, thin the windows, custom backgrounds, layout tweaks | 22:42 |
| HardWareGuy | The distro could bring a lot of people back to gnome with some tweaks to make it more appealing | 22:44 |
| HardWareGuy | millions stopped using gnome when ubuntu went unity and kde's popularity has risen a lot | 22:45 |
| HardWareGuy | SteamOS come with gnome because it's vanilla debian with custom repos added on for steam and drivers | 22:46 |
| darkxst | SteamOS could have shipped with any DE, they are all there in debian after all | 22:47 |
| HardWareGuy | Maybe valve has a gnome fanboy :P | 22:47 |
| darkxst | anyway our aim is to ship a mostly upstream GNOME | 22:49 |
| darkxst | everyone always says you *must* ship this extension etc, however it always comes down to personal preferences | 22:49 |
| HardWareGuy | You gotta at least have an improved theme if you want to lure more people in, if people see vanilla gnome they won't even bother taking a look | 22:49 |
| HardWareGuy | Lots of vanilla gnome distros, lots of gnome fud | 22:50 |
| HardWareGuy | The Kernel Emperor himself said he wishes for a gnome distro that does respins(lol fedora), has lts, and isn't old(debian stable). | 22:53 |
| HardWareGuy | Ubuntu-Gnome is that, it just needs to stand out a little to get attention. | 22:55 |
| darkxst | themes are problematic in they get pretty broken with each new release | 23:43 |
| HardWareGuy | I don't have that issue with any other desktop :-/ | 23:44 |
| darkxst | Ubuntu certainly have big issues with that! and we don't even have a theme designer on our team anyway | 23:44 |
| HardWareGuy | ubuntu is pretty un-customizable beyond the icons and color | 23:45 |
| darkxst | but every time gtk is updated there are tons of theme regressions (just you never see them, because they are mostly fixed before upload) | 23:46 |
| darkxst | and take a look at the 3rd party themes, its usually months before the support latest release | 23:47 |
