GNOME

It is designed for a tablet.
Try KDE or something instead.

But cinnamon gives me eyeball cancer, gnome is well proportioned and consistent. And that is more than I can say for most UI's on Linux

>>57635541
KDE actually looks good now too. How did GNOME screw up so badly? What went wrong?

Smart people

Holy fuck that's gnome? Looks way better than my Windows 10.

What's the best GNOME distro? This makes me want to switch to Linux.

OSX

Fedora, and v25 just released.

Cinnamon is nothing more than Gnome with some tweaks you frigging tard. And in regards to the tablet thing, it's virtually no different than any other DE except it has a sidebar, which can also be moved if it bothers you that much. Learn how to use Gnome and you'll see that it's pretty great.

>>57635786
Gnome really doesn't use much ram at all. With Firefox running, mine uses about a gig.

>>57635943
Different guy, but I'm curious. What makes it better than Ubuntu GNOME? Considering that all the GNOME users on /g/ use Fedora, I'm wondering if there's something I'm missing.

>>57637403
Ubuntu Gnome has outdated packages and a bunch of Gnome stuff is patched to work better with Unity.

>>57637435
How is it in terms of stability? I've heard that it's always on the bleeding edge, so things break easily.

>>57637515
You mean Fedora? No clue. Ubuntu is pretty stable though.

Until you decide to change something simple, which breaks a lot of complicated things.
Use Slackware, super simple stuff.

>>57635489
You don't understand technical issues about UI design. Gnome wasn't designed for tablet interfaces. Protip: Gnome 3 makes heavy use of Fitts's law of human interaction http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fitts's_law

>>57635933
Shoo shoo, don't you have a cock to be sucking?

>>57637724
This isn't true. What can I change in ubuntu that would break it? (and don't say some stupid shit like rm -rf \*

>>57637515
Never had any problems in 2 years desu, and I upgrade daily

>>57637931
It's usually stable, but if there's a bug it's likely to stay for quite some time.
For example, the infamous X/Lubuntu disappearing mouse cursor after resume stayed for months before being patched.
And I think 14.04 is still unable to format a flash drive with Gnome tools to this day.

>>57635541
But why?

Most linux users are going to be on desktops and laptops.

>>57637793
>Fitts's law
That's why the window close button isn't in a screen corner for maximized window?

>>57638311
Just tried out the live environment. Am I supposed to be able to install anything? I got HexChat installed just fine (said I had to enable the repository "(null)"), but everything after that made GNOME Software crash.

None of this makes any sense

>>57638395
I believe your filesystem is mounted read-only when you boot from a live USB, so it has nowhere to install the software.

>>57636756
It still has gigantic window borders which are terrible

>>57638395
Works on my machine.

>>57638452
You can install things because the whole filesystem is overlayed with a writable RAM drive.

>>57635489
cinnamon a shit

prefer MATE

>>57638769
Tried it again and everything works perfectly, despite me doing nothing different.
Computers are weird.

Cinnamon is crap.

It's default menu is pretty fucking specific. I wanted the good old classic menu and not that fucking blob that tries to simulate some sort of windows menu that was never really conceived.

But then I get someone to tell me "oh, just fucking install a classic menu applet then!" and then I try to install that shit.

Well it turns out it doesn't work well. The configuration menu shows up glitched and apparently, not only that, but many other fucking applets, desklets, whatever the fuck, are version dependant.

Why? Why is it that suddenly, someone stops working on anything you can add to your desktop and it's not gonna work because you have a newer version? How is this allowed? I don't have this issue with XFCE or MATE. Not even Unity.

>>57635489
is that a bad thing? it's simple and uncluttered

>>57639340
>I don't have this issue with XFCE or MATE

yeah? well i don't have issues with my fucking minimized tabs disappearing at random on cinnamon, but that happens on multiple machines on both those desktops.

>>57638369
Because the shell menu takes precedence.
