Wow......all that "hatred"?. LoL! I'm glad I don't have the rigidity of
THIS guy! I'm assuming he either:

A. Created his own modified version of whatever desktop he finds appealing.
B. Modified what he needed to in Gnome to get it more to his liking....or
C. Just moved on to another OS with a desktop he could appreciate,
thereby lessening the stress to the developers of THIS OS, and the
people who use it, like it and support it. .......I wonder which option
he took?....LoL!





EGO II

No it's being developed by a bunch of people based upon what they know,
what they believe, the values of that community and the external evidence
they see.


I have a different theory:

Well, first, it would be better if there weren't a general escalation
of insults here.


Second, you left-out the ready option of using one of the other GUIs
already packaged for Fedora, and you left-out the option of building
from source (not that hard, really) one of the further GUIs that are
quite compatible with Fedora.


Gnome is not intrinsic to Fedora. Various of us here are using
different GUIs. If we have a remaining problem with Fedora (as such),
it is simply in its presentation of Gnome as the default GUI.

I argree with you on that, and I apologize, I didn't mean to seem like I
was insulting anyone, I just have this bad habit of voicing my thoughts
in a" very-much-like-Spock" kinda way! Hope no one's offended! As for
building my OWN desktop from source?....I'm too timid and afraid to even
attempt it! Although it intrigues me, I just don't think I have the
"chops" for something so intricate and complex! (Which is sad...because
I'm a guitar player, and you'd think trying to nail the
intro-bridge-closing solo...or Jimi Hendrix' Axis: Bold As Love would be
harder than that...but it ain't!l..LoL!)

Build from source (which is very different from writing source code)
is, as I said, not usually very difficult. In most cases, it is a
matter of executing perhaps half a dozen commands, the most complex of
which is just an extraction from an archive.


But a number of alternate GUIs don't even require that one build from
source (for Fedora). It's just a matter of a "yum install" or of a
"yum groupinstall". (Examples of such GUIs are Xfce, Cinnamon, and
LXDE. Xfce and LXDE are designed to be fast and frugal. Cinnamon is
designed to take a different path from Gnome 2.6 than Gnome 3.x has.)


Moreover, once installed, these GUIs simply become further options.
At login, one chooses which GUI one wants for the session.
