Hi guys, I would like to point out that the usual naming convention for vanilla vs ubuntu-flavored desktop environments is:
https://packages.ubuntu.com/bionic/mate-desktop-environment Plain Mate https://packages.ubuntu.com/bionic/ubuntu-mate-desktop Ubuntu Mate https://packages.ubuntu.com/bionic/cinnamon-desktop-environment Plain Cinnamon (has no Ubuntu variant) There is even https://packages.ubuntu.com/bionic/budgie-desktop-environment This seems to partially hold for Gnome: https://packages.ubuntu.com/trusty/gnome-desktop-environment Old name for the vanilla Gnome https://packages.ubuntu.com/bionic/gnome Plain Gnome desktop https://packages.ubuntu.com/bionic/vanilla-gnome-desktop Another plain gnome? https://packages.ubuntu.com/bionic/ubuntu-gnome-desktop Ubuntu Gnome On Fri, 2018-01-26 at 09:15 +0100, Narcis Garcia wrote: > ubuntu-gnome-desktop depends on an hybrid between Ubuntu-Gnome and > Ubuntu-Unity. > This package should depend only on vanilla-gnome-desktop, or just > vanilla-gnome-desktop be renamed to ubuntu-gnome-desktop > > To be as consistent as other packages/tasks (such as > ubuntu-mate-desktop), if someone installs Ubuntu-server and adds this > package, should get a clean and full Ubuntu-GNOME. > Another package as "ubuntu-gnome-core" could be useful too. > > Please, don't confuse Ubuntu-Unity 8.1 with Ubuntu-Gnome, and take > into > account the main announced principle "mostly pure GNOME desktop > experience built from the Ubuntu repositories". > http://ubuntugnome.org/ > > > El 26/01/18 a les 02:34, Jeremy Bicha ha escrit: > > > > On Thu, Jan 25, 2018 at 9:11 AM, Narcis Garcia <informatica@actiu.n > > et> wrote: > > > > > > Why Ubuntu Gnome project abandoned main principle to be «mostly > > > pure > > > GNOME desktop experience» and then the project abandoned project > > > itself? > > > > > > I think an Ubuntu GNOME (real) flavour has fully sense today, and > > > it > > > seems even easier to maintain. > > Thank you for your comments.
