Lantizia|WorkHi.  I've been a GNOME 2 refugee ever since GNOME 3 came out and I hated it.14:48
Lantizia|WorkI did use XFCE a little bit at the time (over 10 years ago) but felt it was a little incomplete.  That may have changed and I'm definitely going to look at it again.14:49
Lantizia|WorkBut effectively this whole time I've been a MATE user.  Which is fine, and they're trying to modernise things... but some bugs just get too annoying and you're just told they're hangovers from old GNOME 2 code.14:49
Lantizia|WorkSo I'm looking for something as customisable/flexible as GNOME 2... but built with a GNOME 3 base.14:50
Lantizia|Work(i.e. more than GTK+3... something that borrows as much from GNOME 3 as it can)14:50
Lantizia|WorkIs that Budgie?  Cinnamon?  something else?14:50
Lantizia|WorkI like my panels... I like arranging applets on them myself... I like drawers... I like tray icons and notification area icons... I like window titles that are ACTUALLY on a window :P14:51
Lantizia|Workthe usual boring stuff14:51
fossfreedom_Budgie will do all of that. Best download the iso of  the version you want, write to usb and boot to a live session and have a look around.15:47
Lantizia|WorkWell at the moment I'm on the Budgie matrix and an admin is basically admitting they don't understand the freedesktop.org menu-spec16:01
Lantizia|WorkSo it's not a good sign :P16:01
Lantizia|WorkI'm going to have to say.  No, Budgie is written by people who like things looking pretty, but not conforming or making use of proper standards!16:02
