My rant isn't really about Debian testing shoving Gnome 3 at me. If I
was doing serious work I wouldn't use testing and in future I'll be a
bit more careful about what I upgrade. My rant is about the fact that
the 2 main desktops have both gone down the bells & whistles route to
the detriment of how I want my desktop to work. I have no doubt I could
manipulate KDE and Gnome to look roughly as I want them but why should
I? Why install a huge programme and then hide most of it's features?
My fear is that anything else I install is going to go the same way. I
haven't tried Trinity yet, the fork of KDE that keeps the features of
KDE 3 may be an option. That would maybe do the trick and I always
preferred KDE over Gnome.
I'll keep playing until dementia gets me. I'll keep playing until
dementia gets me.
