Interview With GNOME 3 Designer Jon McCann

Posted by samzenpus on from the point-and-counterpoint dept.

An anonymous reader writes "In an extensive interview, GNOME 3 designer Jon McCann talks about the future of GNOME 3 — why it's all about the apps and why he is convinced that KDE and Ubuntu are actually different operating systems. He also reacts to the outspoken criticism against GNOME 3, which has been making the rounds lately."

    That part in the interview where he called the KDE designers a "bunch of punk-ass bitches" was a bit uncalled for, I think.

    Try defining the environment variable CONDOM=1 while configuring. I've used it on many obscure platforms and I've never seen any child processes running. It also has a nice double function of protecting the system from most instances of malware.
