Hi Arron
I have a dual core e7300, which is very fast, when I do C and C++ compiles.
But when I want to start a program that is not in the favorite bar, I have to
click on Application, then on the filter (example Program), and then from the
displayed icons, chose my program.
With G2, I click on menu, which opens in a flash, slide down to the program
menu-item, across to the entry and click. These actities take much much less
time than vanilla Gnome 3
I installed the tweaks for G3, and was able to have some shortcuts on the
favorites bar. Still, when you move around the system a lot, G3 and also Unity
are the pits.
I used xfce, but then had to switch back to G3 to get certain updates
installed, and back again.
My concern is more with UEFI which is coming soon. I bet you that UEFI will be
hacked before Microsoft gets the W8 software out to the public. And perhaps
that hack will help Linux users too.
If the certificate authorities can be hacked, then nothing is safe. And that is
where I see the hackers concentrating their efforts.
