| RFleming | Hellooooo Canada! | 16:49 |

| * genii slides RFleming a large Timmies | 17:51 | |
| RFleming | genii: For you I did it... | 17:51 |
| RFleming | I installed Neon, and used it for a month | 17:52 |
| genii | Hah | 17:52 |
| RFleming | I hated it | 17:52 |
| RFleming | but I tried | 17:52 |
| genii | Well, different desktops for different people and their workflow :) Important thing is we have a world of choice of desktops in Linux | 17:53 |
| RFleming | But it's come a long way since the poop they released when 4 came out. | 17:53 |
| RFleming | genii: I thought I'd give it an honest go. I've been using XFCE for ages, and started looking for a new DE as they all evolve | 17:53 |
| RFleming | I used MATE for a bit, but it wasn't pretty enough. | 17:54 |
| RFleming | used Budgie for a while, but I was nit-picky about it. It's still developing so I'll try it again in a year or so | 17:54 |
| genii | There's a new Ubuntu flavour which a lot of people seem enthusiastic over but I have not tried, myself, Budgie | 17:54 |
| RFleming | (it'll be interesting as they de-couple from GTK+ and GNOME and move to the QT libraries) | 17:54 |
| genii | Hm, yes | 17:55 |
| RFleming | It'll still be for GNOME, but not use the underpinnings | 17:55 |
| RFleming | I'm paraphrasing, but the developer said something about spending too much time trying to convince the underpinning layers that Budgie is GNOME-Shell | 17:56 |
| genii | Heh | 17:56 |
| RFleming | and when the GNOME group makes changes to the APIs and such, lots of stuff breaks; so they're moving to a more 'mature' framework... but still will be all about GNOME apps and such | 17:57 |
| RFleming | ... speaking of GNOME; it surprised me | 17:58 |
| RFleming | I've (unbelievably) switched | 17:58 |
| genii | I run different desktops on different machines here, they all have their merits for different things | 18:07 |
