![]() But you shouldn't worry, as Gnome 3 does have a fallback mode which is fairly similar to the old Gnome 2 layout. (With Unity desktop instead of Gnome Shell by default). No, really, abandoning Gnome 2 wasn't Canonical's choice, it was Gnome's choice.Īnyway, Ubuntu 11.10 will not have the classic option any more, simply because Ubuntu will move to using Gnome 3 as well. of course Debian won't have Gnome 2 either, it being a dead project at this point and everything. Or by that time I might know enough to use something like Debian properly. ![]() If they screw up Ubuntu and force Unity on everyone I might switch to Xubuntu (Lubuntu is nice but I don't like the file manager) ![]() It's funny, I used to like Kubuntu in the old days until they gave it KDE4 which always seemed sluggish and annoying for me, that was when I switched to Gnome. ![]() But other than stability and such due to the maturity of gnome 2.x I personally think it'd be difficult to argue that gnome 2.x is superior to either Unity or Gnome-shell. Or I mean, you might not, they aren't for everyone and you can move on to a different interface for sure. once you do you'll likely find that you can do things faster and that you might actually like it. You have to learn a new way of doing the things you used to do one way with a new interface. I think most people's problem is that they are trying to use Unity and Gnome-shell the way they used to use gnome 2.x, which just doesn't work. Personally, I think (although they still need quite a bit of work, but the idea) they both look better, and work better than gnome 2.x. I actually had to customize gnome 2.x and install third party applications before to get all the functionality that I get natively now with Unity and Gnome-shell. Yeah they have some flaws and some arguably mac-like moves some of which I don't agree with but it definitely increases productivity if used correctly. Unity and Gnome-shell are much better though honestly. If you want to stick with gnome classic forever, lets hope some people feel the same way and fork it and maintain it themselves. Gnome dropped support for it, it's a necessary move. It won't be in Ubuntu 11.10 and it likely won't be in any other distro soon. "Classic style" (aka Gnome 2.x with gnome panels) is dead. I tried kubuntu, and wasn't at all happy with that either. But I'm with you - as long as we continue to have the option of the classic style interface, I'm OK. I don't know where to go from here.Well, I don't know about stupid - preferences are what they are.
