I can't understand why there are so many opponents to GNOME. With some tweaks and extensions it's great desktop environment. It's compact and stable (for me more stable than KDE). Client Side Decorations is great feature on smaller screens, like my laptop.
I'm not surprised with results. Mutter has ability (like any serious composition window managers) to undirect full screen window, so performance should be same as light window managers (Openbox for example). Well, I done some benchmarks with Unigine in GNOME and Fluxbox. In windowed mode fluxbox was faster by ~7FPS, in full screen mode both had same performance. This is what I said.

And only problem now is, how to transform Phone idea into Desktop while X is enough/fine Trajnsition that didn't happened, they can't move because of that and not because of some floscules out of nowhere - everything is possible and should be customazible, but princess i another castleLast edited by dungeon; 24 May 2017, 03:08 PM.

Do I think developers deserve nothing but pain? Hell no. But when your file manager lacks a button to take me to /, you've made life way too easy for your developers.

I understand ditching XFCE, I ditched it too, it's old and too slowly developed (i.e. obsolete)
But why the fuck Gnome? Why not something wonderful like Enlightenment or even Cinnamon? Why fucking Gnome? I mean I could even live with KDE... just not gnome, not gnome and definitely not Unity.

rabcor , what are you using now? Enlightenment?
I'm getting tired of keyrings not signing in, default browser not working across all apps, etc, with XFCE. And Thunar...
All has been getting better but am on an i3 zenbook now, not a netbook or underpowered device. I'm hesitant to try gnome.

This is FANTASTIC news !!! Intel recognizes GNOME is now THE standard Linux desktop. The only outlier now is Opensuse and more than likely they're staying with KDE simply as a differentiator. Of course they still offer GNOME and I bet they find more of their customers going with GNOME in the future.
It will be interesting to see if Intel will find issues with GNOME and upstream them thus benefitting everyone. None the less....GNOME is the standard Linux desktop and this will help adoption going forward.
