Linus Hates GNOME 3 and I Don't

It's just annoying when I see "Linux" when referring to the man.

His name is "Linus."

(Bonus points for identifying the reference.)

Yea, I saw it in the summary and cringed.

It's actually a common typo, the 'S' and the 'X' being very close on the keyboard.

tracyanne: yea, that's why I "tolerate" it, but I tend to expect better from mainstream journalists. *shrug*

Someone doesn't hate Gnome 3? I guess I'll add a mark to that side of my tally sheet.

Somehow that still doesn't make more people that like Gnome 3 VS hate Gnome 3.

Linus is a god. Kneel, worms.

I kinda get the message that Linus is "just" a user.

However he is a respected guy kinda like RMS and people listen and take note when he has something to say.

I don't think there is anything wrong with that per se. Some people's views have more sway/validity than others and I'm cool with that.

Linus is just a user the way Michael Jordan is just a guy who shoots hoops... His opinion matters more than the average guy.

@tc --

It offends me to see the lack of respect that some people accord to the Great and Powerful Linus.

Personally, I consider him better than 99.999% of all people. Almost my equal, in fact.

> Linus is just a user the way Michael Jordan is just a guy who shoots hoops... His opinion matters more than the average guy.

Well, some people seem to think so. Personally, I'll take Jerry West's opinion over Jordan's any day, but that's me.

Now. Linus. Yeah, his opinion matters.

I agree with Marcel Gagne, Gnome 3 is beautiful on tablets.

Almost, dino, he misses by a hair. A big fat hair to be sure, but still a hair.

JaseP: You should compare to Michael Jordan giving comment on tonight's soccer match. Because after all Linus is not an UI-expert, is he?

Of course, if Michael Jordan gives comments on tonight's soccer match it will be more interesting then if an average bloke from the street does, but still, probably there's people from the streets saying more sensible / interesting things about soccer than Michael Jordan.

Linus is right. Steven J. Vaughan-Nichols is right. gnome3 sucks big time as does unity. The developers have their heads up their rear-ends. Time for a fork.

Linus is a god. Kneel, worms.

Speaking for the rest of us worms....we can't kneel...

We don't have knees.

Just sayin'

Sun god all be mighty,

What about those worms that walk at both ends but have a nifty loop in between? Would that fulfill tc's conditions?

No knees worm, just asking ...

YBT

Quoting:What about those worms that walk at both ends but have a nifty loop in between?

I believe flat on the face is more than enough.

That doesn't apply to me since I disagree with him. ha ha.

To come to think of it, I don't agree with anyone. :-)
