Samuel Sieb:
It doesn't need to be beefy. Pretty much any video card made in
the
last 10 years should work. Since the capability is there, why not
use it to make the desktop work better?
Yeah, right. Slowly opening menus, slowly spinning desktop cubes,
hover and wait before continuing, splash screens and other animations
that delay me doing something "make it work better"?
I remember when using computers on just a few megahertz, now that we're
using gigahertz computers the computers should be a thousand times
faster to use, but they're not.
And, sure, I can turn off the decorative crap. But it's still the
using the same bloated behemoth underneath.
I don't understand why the few of you in this thread feel the
need
to exaggerate so badly in order to put down Gnome.
Oh, bullcrap. We're not exaggerating. We've used the various
desktops, we've seen the silliness and ignored the Emperors New Clothes
sales pitch. The excessive over-the-top Gnome defending against
evidence to the contrary, and putting down of anybody who criticises
it, really pisses me off.
