I have a question:
I know Trisquel uses the "fallback mode" due to 3D driver issues. It looks
and mostly acts like Gnome2 as far as I can tell with the limited time I've
played with it.
I've heard that with the many extensions around, that you can make
full-3D-Gnome-Shell look and act like Gnome2. Is that true?
If so, then why MATE? Why don't people just configure Gnome-Shell (If they
have free 3D) and move on? Mate is Gnome2/GTK2, right?
(Please forgive if this question seems obvious or insulting. I don't spend a
lot of time in Gnome/KDE, etc. I have used Fluxbox for years and recently
Openbox due to it's copyleft goodness.)
I must say, I do find it a bit funny that there are so many flame wars over
desktop environments/window managers.
