GNOME 3 To Support a "Classic" Mode, of Sorts
An anonymous reader writes "LWN.net is reporting that GNOME developer Matthias Clasen has announced that, with the upcoming demise of 'fallback mode,' the project will support a set of official GNOME Shell extensions to provide a more "classic" experience. 'And while we certainly hope that many users will find the new ways comfortable and refreshing after a short learning phase, we should not fault people who prefer the old way. After all, these features were a selling point of GNOME 2 for ten years!'"
Translation:
"We want shiny tabletly eye candy bullshit because we'd rather be developing for Windows, but Windows already has a DE. We don't give a shit about anything but shiny change because change is progress and efficiency is shit and everyone should have to constantly re-learn how to interact with their PC and ergonomic efficiency be damned.
