Wayland'ized GNOME Shell Gets A Binary

[Delgarde]

Personally I hate icons strewn all over a desktop.

Likewise... I disabled that feature years ago on Gnome 2, so I'm happy enough with it gone by default in 3. The folder ended up being just a dumping ground for downloaded files, without much real value to me.

The most comfortable and productive desktop developed was NEXTSTEP.

Due to all the inner whining at Apple [I was there] we moved more to MacOS than OS X as it should have been.

We're still not there in productivity use with 10.9. But 10.9 stomps the piss out of any DE in Linux or Windows.

Icons on desktop

@Bucic is correct, Gnome 2.x and Mate are just so last century.

Personally I hate icons strewn all over a desktop. But, if that is what you want it is one click in Gnome Tweak Tool. Most shell haters never get as far as actually looking at the settings or extensions.

I will be trying the Wayland version with 3.10, one more step into the future.

I've seen people using it at my work. It seems to be working quite fine.

Only if you're not an irreformable brick who thinks no possibility to place icon on the desktop is a slander to usability. You know, because Windows 95 defined usability and there's no need to look at it again, is it?

Since we are throwing our opinions out like facts, I might as well: Gnome 3 is the most productive and comfortable DE to use.

Let's not get carried away here... and try to at least keep things in the realm of believability.

Cool, I hope I'll be able to play with gnome-shell on wayland on arch linux when 3.10 comes out

Use it then.

Pitty that it became one of the most annoying DEs to use.

Great. Yet another sign that Gnome is the leading DE for wayland development and consumption.
