I've had issues in with 3D acceleration, on my 2 desktop machines (nvidia)... Some applications i use, recommend not using compositors at all.... however, compiz plays quite nice and works, so i use it - while gnome-shell is hit and miss. I also have issues with screen-casting in gnome-shell - it causes weird visual distortions, searching around youtube, they are some gnome-shell reviews that have similar distortions...im sure it will all get worked out, eventually. That being said, i highly recommend investigating for yourself. You should try Gnome-shell out and see how it works for you, your workflow, and what you want/require out of your desktop... don't take my word or anyone else's on the subject. I think this point is an important one. In general gnome 3 is pretty good, gnome-shell has integrated some cool technologies, but for me it's just not ready though. depending on how you use your machine, your applications, hardware, etc - Gnome-shell might in fact be absolutely awesome, and work really well. so again, i would try it out - give yourself some time to get used to it and see how it works for you. jordan _______________________________________________ gnome-shell-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-shell-list
