Ubuntu Replaces F-Spot With Shotwell

Posted by timothy on from the such-pretty-pictures dept.

climenole writes "Finally! The much discussed F-Spot vs. Shotwell battle is over. The new default image organizer app for Ubuntu Maverick 10.10 is going to be Shotwell. This is a much-needed change; F-Spot was simply not enough. Most of the times when I tried F-Spot, it just keeps crashing on me. Shotwell on the other hand feels a lot more solid and is better integrated with the GNOME desktop. Shotwell is also completely devoid of Mono."

    Last year at the Gran Canaria Desktop Summit, Cody Russell asked Richard Stallman if there was anything that Microsoft could do to ease his fears of patent threats, and he said that there was. Microsoft could come out and publicly state that .NET was open to use and promise not to sue people over it. Days later they did exactly that and Richard did not change his opinion.

    Your mistake was assuming that RMS will ever change any of his views regardless of facts. The man is a relic and should be treated like one -- ignored.

    Well I hope you don't mind when people ignore you when you get older just because you're also considered a "relic". Oh wait, what have you ever done that even comes close to Stallman's contributions to society. No one will even notice you.

    Is anyone _really_ wondering... about either?

    Yep.. The defensive Windows fanboys who keep telling us that the year of Linux hasn't come yet.
