GNOME 3 Wins Linux Journal's Readers' Choice Award

Posted by timothy on from the de-gustibus-non-disputandum-est dept.

msevior writes "Although Linus Torvalds and some Slashdot commentators may disagree, GNOME 3 has many admirers. GNOME 3 was awarded the Linux Journal Readers' Choice award for 2011." Though I'm one of the complainers, I hope to be converted with the help of Gnome Shell extensions.

    I agree that it is a dead project, but it didn't start with GNOME 3. GNOME would have been a candidate for 2001 as desktop of the year, not 2011. It looks like a cross between early versions of OSX and Win 95 combined, with a dash of X thrown in.

     

  2. Perhaps its time we act first and abandon GNOME. by Foxhoundz · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    GNOME 3 has not accomplished anything to deserve an award.

    While I do agree that its interface works great on touch based devices, it is not nor will it ever be optimized for PCs and laptops. Perhaps this is a sign that GNOME will slowly abandon PC users. Perhaps its time we act first and abandon GNOME.
