Release Team Proposes Gnome 3.0 Plans

Posted by timothy on from the gnome-rocks-and-so-does-kde dept.

benuski writes "Today at GUADEC, the Gnome User and Developer European Conference, the gtk+ team announced their plans for gtk+ 3.0; immediately after, the Gnome release team announced their plans for Gnome 2.30 to be changed into Gnome 3.0. This would mean a release date a year and a half to a year in the future. Details are short at the moment, but the Gnome team seems to be following in KDE's footsteps, but hopefully will avoid the problems that plagued KDE 4.0's release."

    I can't expect Gnome users getting upset unless they don't have a good working, default desktop.

    And, considering the state of Nautilus, I can't expect them getting upset even in that case.

  2. Re:Problems with KDE4? What problems?.. by mi · · Score: 0, Troll

    This is not the default.

    Yes, it is the the default for the product called KUbuntu Hardy Heron. Version, mind you, 8.04.1 at the moment — not "beta" or "pre-release", not even a x.0, which we've learned to be wary of by now.

    And yet, the beta-versions of the much-derided Windows are a lot more stable and feature-complete than this. And it is not even Ubuntu — their only fault is attempting to "turn shit into chicken salad". KDE-4 remains a poor ingredient — it was "released" a year too early, evidently, because even 4.1 (still in beta right now) is not offering the same features, that KDE-3.x has.

    If you don't like it, deinstall it

    Same can be said about all free software — are you suggesting, all criticism of it is "baseless"?
