Of course you can comment, for example "Nice, but personally I'd find that background quite distracting." or something similar. Not "Ew. That desktop is so fucking distracting."

It's a figure of speech.

Yes, but a 500-600 KB increase in filesize isn't always worth the barely perceptible difference in image quality.

I really hope this is a joke. If not, I'm crying on the inside.

Ubuntu 11.10 + Unity with the Hope-DT theme and Faenza Darkest icon pack. I actually quite like Unity, I know others may not though.

[Esteedees]

Ubuntu 10.04 with a custom theme (BSM Simple Dark Menu and Faenza icons), along with Avant Window Navigator.

[doonbugie2]

What are you going to do when they shutdown the 10.04 repos.

[Esteedees]

By that time, I would probably end up using a newer version, or another distro.

Yea but that's not a huge problem for me.
Last time I used 11.10, I replaced unity with Gnome-Shell, so I'd probably end up doing that on what I may be using in the future.

Have they made Gnome-3 semi-usable on netbooks yet? It's unresponsive as fuck.

I would try it out on my EEE PC 900, but I still need a replacement keyboard

I tried it on a Acer D257 Espresso Black and it runs like shit.

You could always make the move to XFCE or LXDE. XFCE is pretty similar to GNOME-2, it's not as good as GNOME 2 just yet, but it's close. I wouldn't recommend LXDE as much as XFCE, but it's still nice.

*buntu Spins:
XFCE (Xubuntu) - http://xubuntu.org/
LXDE (Lubuntu) - http://lubuntu.net/

You could always use MATE as you mentioned, or mess around with the fallback mode of GNOME Shell.

This is quite a good guide: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/12/h...-like-gnome-2/

Finally, Cinnamon (A GNOME Shell fork by the guys at Linux Mint), may be to your taste as well.

Unlike the similarly positioned ‘Mate’ desktop, which is a fork of GNOME 2, Cinnamon remakes the basic layout of the ‘traditional’ GNOME desktop using the latest technologies forked from GNOME Shell.

Cinnamon performs like garbage, Xfce4 is poorly made in terms of ease of use.. (touchpads don't work unless you tweak Synaptic and X.)

So those who disagree think that PNG is always worth it? Oh wow.

Gnome 3 is definitely not as unproductive and buggy as people claim.

Before you ragequit about the image format, imgur converted the .png to .jpg.

It is, run Gnome 2.3 on a Atom, then compare with Gnome 3.2.

Decided to give Gnome 3 another try, coming from xmonad, and surprisingly I like it. I enjoyed a tiling wm for a while but I think I prefer a full DE.

Top archey is my new dedicated server that I mostly got to use as a seedbox and just play with when I'm bored.

EDIT: Wtf, does imgur convert pngs to jpegs now or something?
