One Week With GNOME 3 Classic
An anonymous reader writes "Stephen Gallagher, Security Software Engineer at Red Hat, has completed his week-long experiment running GNOME 3 Classic. Stephen writes: 'While I was never as much in love with GNOME 2 as I was with KDE 3, I found it to be a good fit for my workflow. It was clean and largely uncluttered and generally got out of my way. Now that Fedora 19 is in beta and GNOME Classic mode is basically ready, I decided that it was my duty to the open-source community to explore this new variant, give it a complete investigation and document my experiences each day.' I'll leave Stephen's opinion on the new Classic Mode to the Slashdot reader to discover, but I will say that it does touch on the much debated GNOME Shell Activities Overview, and the gnome-2-like Classic mode's Windows List on the taskbar."
It is obviously what the people want!
KDE is probably the most flexible and professional DE that is available for Linux.
It may be the most flexible, but I suppose you and I have different view on what's "professional" here: it's too cluttered, there's not only one but several kitchen sinks thrown in almost everywhere, the configuration options are all over the damn place and they're pretty incoherent, I can *still* make Plasma crash if I just play around with the panel and so on. GNOME2 was a lot more "professional" IMHO, and a whole lot more useable.
