Hello
Im wondering if anyone can give me some feedback on using gnome. Ive been
using KDE since Ive started using freeBSD and it like it. But I have
recently looked at ubuntus distro, which uses gnome (their version I
assume) and it was very nice.
So, stuff like font rendering etc. Which is, in your experience, prettier
so to speak, to use? Applications and so on. The gnome project page seems
to be lacking version screenshots, or at least I couldnt find them.
Any feedback greatly appreciated.
This is a difficult question to answer since it really is a matter of taste
what kind of look you prefer. And don't forget you can change the look and
design of your gnome or kde desktop completely to accroding to your needs
and wishes.
What I really can say - since I am using gnome for everyday's work for some
years now - Gnome has greatly improved stability, perfomance and usability
since "old times" of 2.6 or 2.8 .
2.12 is a fast and reliable working enviroment.
If you can afford the bandwith and the diskspace you should install both
and compare yourself.
Thanks for the reply. Ive installed gnome, having some problems running it
and didnt get a chance to tackle it last night, but I will later. I guess I
was just wondering whether the guys at ubuntu have just done a really nice
job with gnome, or is this how it "looks". The fonts seemed smoother and
window dragging wasnt jerky at all, even though it was running from a cd. But
I will compare and see what its like.
