Try Fuduntu! It is only natural that there are still a lot of people out there who can’t get used to GNOME 3 and prefer GNOME 2 that they are used to. The problem with this is that not many distributions support GNOME 2 anymore, and most of them use obsolete versions of applications. [...]

Every time a new version of any of the distros mentioned came out, I gave it a Try, so changing the OS in my PC turned into a Hobby.

Then, when Gnome 3 came to be, I also tried it and it dissapointed me. I am no computer geek; I am a back to school at 57 Phylosophy student and I need a laptop that can be used for essay writing; presentation shows, internet access, etc. and I need to copy and paste information between applications in an easy way besides making good writing publishable work, and I have found in Fuduntu the way to go because the simplicity to do the work I need to do is unequalled in Gnome 3, and Fuduntu is simple enough to have only the applications that I need or want.

The only dissapointment that I have with Fuduntu is that it has ruined my “hobby”; I am not changing distros anymore; I still download and make live USB’s, but I am not installing them anymore.

Keep up the excellent work!!!

Sorry if I came across strong , but we see this constantly and it often is intentional. Fuduntu containing the letters Fud is a coincidence and doesn’t mean anything. Some of the people that are afraid of what we are doing will do anything to spread fear in hopes of preventing us from being successful.

I genuinely assumed it was a deliberate play on words on the part of the Fuduntu developers. As I said before, I *personally* found the move to Gnome3 to be painful, but ultimately worthwhile. But the beauty of Linux is that I had (and still have) a choice, and I’m very well aware that I have that choice only as a result of a lot of hard work by a lot of passionate developers. I certainly did not mean to belittle your work, and I apologise if that’s how I came across.

Pathetic, all these people come out of the woodwork with this jealous angry crap. The fact that you said this is the only FUD here. If you don’t like the year and a half of work that we have put into a free Linux distribution that we give to the world asking nothing in return that’s one thing, but to be such an ass like this, give us a damn break already.

I have to say I was very unhappy with Gnome3 and tried for many months to avoid it, but always seemed to come back to the realisation that I was swimming against the current, wasting time debugging DBus message flows rather than doing “real” work.

So I finally gave up and started running Gnome 3.4. It took me a day or two to find extensions to tweak the UI to my taste, and another couple of days to get everything working nicely, and I still haven’t quite got used to the alt-tab behaviour. But here I am, several months later, and I’m pretty happy with how my desktop works (and looks: http://i.imgur.com/tegIA.jpg).

I doubt I’d go back, if given the option. I’m not a Gnome3 fan-boy yet, but also I’m no longer a hater.
