Re: [Trisquel-users] Should future releases have Modern (Gnome 3/Unity) and Classic desktops?

[magicbanana]

As you write, this question has been discussed several times during the past  
months. The next Trisquel 5.0 Dagda will use Gnome 2.32 (like the last  
Ubuntu). Then, assuming that quidam has not changed his mind since April (  
https://trisquel.info/fr/forum/which-desktop-next-trisquel#comment-8957 ),  
Trisquel will use, by default, Gnome 3 but without Gnome Shell (because it  
requires a rather recent OpenGL support that currently is unavailable, via  
Free drivers, for those having ATI/AMD cards and unstable for those with  
nVidia cards).

Notice however that both the gnome-shell package and the unity package  
already are in Trisquel's repositories. Both being Free software, there is no  
reason not to copy them from Ubuntu's repositories.
