I'm not going to go thru all the nitty details.. On your x86, you either have Intel or AMD/Nvidia graphics right? They provide 2d/3d acceleration... GNOME is written for that.. We don't have that on the BBB.. (we do have opengl es, but we don't have full opengl whch gnome needs..) Thus the "experience" is different, as GNOME targeted devices with opengl graphics acceleration.
