Lantizia|Work | Hi. I've been a GNOME 2 refugee ever since GNOME 3 came out and I hated it. | 14:48 |
---|---|---|
Lantizia|Work | I 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|Work | But 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|Work | So 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|Work | Is that Budgie? Cinnamon? something else? | 14:50 |
Lantizia|Work | I 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 :P | 14:51 |
Lantizia|Work | the usual boring stuff | 14:51 |
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|Work | Well at the moment I'm on the Budgie matrix and an admin is basically admitting they don't understand the freedesktop.org menu-spec | 16:01 |
Lantizia|Work | So it's not a good sign :P | 16:01 |
Lantizia|Work | I'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 |
