I really like GNOME Fallback however I understand the complains. But one can
do something about it. Let me explain:
GNOME Fallback (as in Trisquel 7) Pros:
+ Similar layout to Windows, easy to switch / get used to
+ doesn't depend on hardware-accelerated graphics (think about libreboot
users)
+ supports access for handicapped people
+ stable, around for a long time
+ since it's GNOME (popular) many dependencies for other programs are already
included
GNOME Fallback (as in Trisquel 7) Cons:
- No searchable menus / app search
- No switchables users by default
- (there are probably more)
So I sugged sticking with GNOME Fallback but also including software like
Cardapio (better integrated, without the internet-search stuff included for
privacy, probably needs some work) for the menu and replacing the default
menu, adding at least 2 seats in /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf by default, so
ctrl+alt+f8 works and 2 users / accounts can be logged in at the same time.
Some minor changes (like making Windows-button open the menu by default)
would also make an easier experience.
I think with just a bit of work, GNOME Fallback could be the perfect balance
between all requirements. As it is now, it's a little bit too dusty.
