Asharae Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 Right, it was mentioned in the previous thread to put Gnome up vs. Cinnamon for a final time to see what of the two to use. Ill let this run for a few days and then see what the vote is. If anyone is around tonight, I'll be on IRC if anyone wants to pop on and discuss.

Growled Member Posted July 12, 2012 Member Share Posted July 12, 2012 I voted for Gnome because in my limited use of Cinnamon it was buggy as all get out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pers3us Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 I voted for Gnome because in my limited use of Cinnamon it was buggy as all get out. Actually you should try Cinnamon 1.4. I won't say its bugfree. But at least not as much buggy as it was initially. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knife Party Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 cinnamon is nice - but way to bug ridden and immature at this point, let them shape up the platform more for this to be considered an early option Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Norris Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 Not a fan of either, but between the two I personally like Cinnamon's workflow better, namely it just feels more productive, some of GNOME's design decisions don't make a lot of sense or actually make things worse. (Change is good when it improves the workflow.. change "just because" not so much.) Just needs to get their stability issues worked out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Frank B. Subscriber² Posted July 13, 2012 Subscriber² Share Posted July 13, 2012 GNOME 3.x with a select few extensions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cybertimber2008 Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 I do have to agree that Gnome 3.x has a big "pro" in having extensions. Con, agree with the "just because" change. Seriously... no desktop, no screensavers? I haven't yet tried Cinnamon, though part of me does miss the old Gnome 2.x. So... voting Gnome 3.x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

n_K Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 Gnome 3 does support desktop! I'm not really sure why people thinks it doesn't. Get gnome-tweak-tool and enable it on the desktop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pers3us Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 Wow .. still neck to neck! I think we should do both eh! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The latest version is quite stable and I use it everyday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+jamesyfx Subscriber² Posted July 14, 2012 Subscriber² Share Posted July 14, 2012 If we did both, there would have been no point in voting in the first place. :p Gnome it is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing Here Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 I would say Gnome 3. I tried Cinnamon awhile for nostalgic reasons. MATE in my honest opinion is better then Cinnamon. But the more I used Gnome 3 I found how easy it truly was. The only reason I balked at it before was because of the big change only. I just didn't give it a chance.

Asharae Posted July 15, 2012 Author Share Posted July 15, 2012 Right its time to call it. Gnome will be the DE we are using then :) Edit: If anyones around on IRC, nows the time to get on there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

firey Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 I'm currently running with Cinnamon on my Ubuntu install. Been playing around with it and mono, been finding a few things that work and that don't. Definitely a good chance to practice for s2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
