Many folks[*That have a comfort zone with Gnome 2.X*] will stick to Fedora 14 till they can adapt to GNOME 3 or move on to other desktops. KDE 3 did not die, BTW it lives as trinity desktop: http://www.trinitydesktop.org/ Some speculate that GNOME 2.X will live on as a fork? it is possible but since we use Fedora many of us users will use what is here and unless we are willing to do some work on our own can use the alternative desktops or other ways of dealing with this. >, my guess is by the time > F15 comes out. ;-) > > There is one big difference - almost all graphics chips > will handle > KDE4 - but not all will handle Gnome3 and will enter > fallback mode.... > > -- Mike, Your statement is confirmed :). I have an old Pentium 4 machine with SIS graphics. I installed TC1 Desktop and it went into fallback mode :), it works, but not like the others which are newer. It seems that there are many more differences between KDE 4.0 and GNOME 3.0 and this is definitely one of them. KDE 4.X works(drags), Gnome 3.0 goes into fallback mode, XFCE works too, but LXDE seems to be better suited for these cases? The development is different, the models are different, but it is the wave of the future. To effectively test and use GNOME 3, we need newer faster and efficient machines. The older ones are not suited for it, or will go into fallback mode :) Regards, Antonio -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
