GNOME 3.4 Preview

Posted by Unknown on Wednesday February 29, 2012 @04:10AM from the needs-more-wasted-space dept.

A couple of days ago, GNOME released the first beta of version 3.4. Designer Allan Day has posted a tour of the major interface changes. Some of them seem good (everything looks shiny and clean), but some of them seem questionable. The big thing to take from this release cycle appears to be improvements to the underlying technology that might help other window managers take advantage of the GNOME 3 infrastructure (leading to a world where hackers, tablet users, and grandma can all get along).

No, bash is still fine.

There is no "I disagree" mod for a reason. Flamebait, Troll, and Overrated are not substitutes.

Well it's consistent with GNOME's approach to things since about 2.0. Copy the bad features of other UIs and make sure to do it worse.
