Re: [Trisquel-users] Idea: Xfce as classic DE for Trisquel 7?

[magicbanana]

All Intel chipsets and most nVidia cards handle 3D acceleration. Reasonably  
modern CPUs hardware can run GNOME Shell (the recent versions of it) with  
software rendering (thanks to llvmpipe) thanks to the work started more than  
one year ago for Fedora 17... and that has already reached the latest Ubuntu  
12.10. The next Trisquel will be based on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS. By then, GNOME  
Shell will be a viable choice for anybody but users with an AMD video card  
and an antique CPU. Those are so few people that I do not think GNOME Shell  
is to be disregarded in this regard.
