How many of you think GNOME 3.4.1 is not "the pefect desktop"? Don't be shy now. |

My hand's up. |

You guys are just so gosh darn it all negative! Nobody's pefect, y'know. |

I don't think of it as a desktop at all. A tablet top, maybe. |

Perfect in what sense? I'm sure it's not the same sense as i mean by perfect. |

I've been running openSUSE 12.2 on my desktop lately and I have been deliberately giving GNOME a chance. It is usable and it isn't as absolutely horrible as some make it out to be. It's also a pain in the a** for people who are used to having lots of things open and multitasking. Of the major DEs it's my least favorite so I'd hardly call openSUSE 12.2 with GNOME a "perfect desktop". openSUSE 12.2 with XFCE, OTOH, is pretty darned nice. |

The alt-tab working across multiple virtual desktops is a great thing. Super key, then type the beginning of an app, then Return to run it -- I miss both of those features in other DEs. |

@Steven: The wonderful thing about Linux: there are lots of DEs so we can each choose the one we like. |

I like GNOME 3 so much that I patch GNOME 2 so I don't have to go near it! (in b4 banned) |

I can have no opinion because I haven't tried it. At least, if I have, it did not make enough of an impression to be remembered. |

I tried it. There were somethings that were very well done but in the end multi-tasking and multi-monitor support was just too difficult for me. |
