At Fedora anyone propose changes. At one point someone proposed KDE, but that was then rejected by the people maintaining KDE within Fedora. For Cinnamon, someone proposed it. While Fedora is free to do as they please, and a default would still mean that GNOME 3 is still available, I doubt Cinnamon will be a new default. This because a default implies a lot of things, e.g. enough manpower to fix things. There is a large group of people maintaining GNOME within Fedora. Not so much for Cinnamon. I think Cinnamon is already an option on the latest Fedora. We have some very vocal people who do not like GNOME 3. I hope the proposal teaches them what it really means to be popular. In any case, thanks for your kind words. > http://www.zdnet.com/why-i-said-goodbye-to-the-gnome-desktop-7000010702/?s_cid=e539 I think that is a pretty bad analysis. I recommend https://LWN.net/ (the articles, the comments are not always ok), or http://www.h-online.com/. They are independent and usually do a thorough investigation (no matter GNOME or any other subject). > Cheers! > > Eddie G. O'Connor Jr. > P.P.S. Where could a fella get a Gnome t-shirt?...baseball > cap?....stickers...coffee mug..etc? LoL! We have some of our things on the following shop: http://www.zazzle.nl/gnome A percentage of the sale goes to the GNOME foundation. We also send things to people who are in the friend of GNOME campaign (what you get depends on your donation).
