Mint holds steady with Gnome 2.32.1

Fedora has gone Gnome3, Ubuntu has gone Unity,
and Ubuntu derivate Mint has gone with previous version
of Gnome spruced up.
There is also Xubuntu and Kubuntu and also newest Lubuntu.
Interesting times.
I'd use unity more if I can find a way to reduce its vertical bar
width and turn it translucent.
It is an old psychological thing - the eye is EXTREMELY SENSITIVE
to vertical bars in its field of view.
Also, I have compiz cube set to 16 faces and translucent.
The vertical bar should follow the cube rotate and not remain rigid and
static to the left side while the cube is rotating.

Yes, they are. The GNU/Linux desktop is in motion like it has never
been before. So many new challenges and ways to do things. Of course
things will be flaky at first, but they soon will level out nicely.

Hmm, the launcher /is/ translucent by default, and you can set the
icon size (and thus width) in CCSM > Unity Plugin > Experimental. I'm
sure Canonical will soon provide a dedicated 'launcher settings'
option screen.

Thank you I never noticed it in Compiz Config Settings Manager
the Unity Plugin and the Experimental tab.
There is a translucent setting there, but thats for the menu bar
at the top. In the other tab I found option to autohide the vertical
bar which made an immense improvement. The icon size I also found
and that reduced the width of the bar - again a big improvement.

Autohide is a good way to get rid of the vertical bar and now things
are looking very much on the up.
Still feel a bit disgruntled having to search for applications.
It is hard enough to know all your apps in time, to then have to
go guess the names of those apps makes it hard work to use a computer.
Computers are supposed to help you by reminding you of a huge number
of things it can do by letting it all hang out on big menus that
have been categorized meaningfully.
I remember discovering rasmol through one of these menu options in the
education menu in a big remastered distro of knoppix called quantian.
Loosing the big applications menu is a bit like loosing the plot.

As I have been predicting for years, there will come a time when the desktop
Linux UIs will be heavily revamped with a focus on usability. This, I
think, may be one of those steps. We shall see as time goes on.

That's why I changed to Gnome. Then LXDE, then Gnome again. And as soon
as the more recent Mint releases the LXDE version, I'm moving to that.
Maybe I'll even update my old desktop at that time, too. Currently it's
stuck with Mint 4 or 6 (can't recall). They don't provide updates any
more for whichever version it is, so I've been handling it all myself.

I like Mint better than Ubuntu. Even when they were both using Gnome I
liked the way Mint set it up. I also like the fact that Mint installs the
codecs for playing DVDs, etc. I've tried an older version of LXDE and it
worked fine. The main thing I don't like about Ubuntu/Mint now is the
Noveau nVidia driver and the hoops you have to jump through to get the
proprietary nVidia driver installed instead. But Noveau is getting better
and I do have a pretty old card (GForce4 MX440).

Mint is probably the best distro for anyone moving over from Windows, or for
the average user who wants a functional environment where everything simply
works as it's supposed to.
I went from PCLinuxOS to Ubuntu to Mint, and with Mint I'll stay.
RonB
I've got three distributions on this computer. CentOS, VectorLinux and
Linux Mint 10. VectorLinux is like Mint in that it comes with all the
codecs and works "out of the box" with DVDs, MP3s, etc. But it uses XFce
(VL Standard) and it's not quite as automatic as Gnome, so that may turn
some people off. CentOS is "just" Red Hat, not the best desktop Linux, but
works well when you get it set up with codecs, etc. It's also on my
laptop. I mostly use it because 1) I keep telling myself I'm going to get
Red Hat Linux certified, 2) It's what Asterisk uses by default, and 3)
It's rock solid. Linux Mint is there because my Dad uses it and I
sometimes support him by phone -- so it's nice to be able to go step-by-
step with him. It's also fun to play with a cutting edge distribution from
time to time.
It usually works out that I'll boot back into the same Linux I used the
last time -- unless I have a specific reason to boot into another. So I'll
go three weeks to a month using the same distribution and not even realize
it. This kind of makes me realize that I could be happy with most Linux
distributions, since they're all so customizable anyhow. I really don't
even realize which one I'm using anymore when I jump from one distribution
to another. When it comes down to it, Linux is Linux -- any distribution,
in my opinion, is better than Windows or OS X.

I stick mostly with Mint. But I like Peppermint, too. And Lubuntu. I
also like to play around with others to see how they're doing and/or
what's new.
I'm not an Ubuntu fan. But I install it sometimes just to see what's

A decent analogy is found in churches: When it comes down to it,
mainstream Christianity is mainstream Christianity; core beliefs such as
the divinity of Jesus, the Trinity, and salvation through faith and grace
are held by all the mainstream denominations. Yet all those denominations
practice their faith in different ways, creating very different
experiences of Christianity for its followers.
At first glance, it may appear that the Episcopal Church and the
Pentecostal Holiness Church are completely different from each other; but
they hold the same core beliefs that define them as Christian religions.
The widely varying differences in worship style allow Christians to make a
choice between denominations based upon personal preference.

I think this is a good analogy - people have an almost religious devotion to
the different distros or, even more so, to the concept of "choice" itself -
but just having lots of choices does not really offer much benefit. It is
better to have fewer better choices than to have more choices with none
being as high quality as the better ones offered.
From a recently reported story from Forbes: Apparently the CEO of Nike (Mark
Parker) contacted Steve Jobs to ask him for his advice. Jobs responded
with:
Nike makes some of the best products in the world. Products that
you lust after. But you also make a lot of crap. Just get rid of
the crappy stuff and focus on the good stuff
In other words: you have a lot of choice now... but many of the choices are
bad choices. Reduce the choices, getting rid of the bad ones, and focus on
making the good choices even better. This is something that is not handled
well by the OSS community - by its very nature. Still, if you look at the
new KDE, the developers are getting that sometimes the best innovation is to
eliminate items, at least by default. It is a good trend for OSS and one
that will help to have desktop Linux be adopted by more people.
But to digress a bit: the "choices" of many distros really do not benefit
more people. To the contrary, it leads to confusion and is a deterrent to
adoption. This does *not* mean I think there should be a "culling
committee" or any of the other BS I am accused of wanting - nor do I not see
the benefit of having many "play grounds" for different ideas and different
philosophies. Ubuntu with Unity is a great example of this (though Unity
needs a fair amount of work itself).

Sure: and that is a large part of the reason why it is not better adopted.
The overall environment, however, all plays into that.

Can you give some specific examples where you have benefits others do not?
Something you use?
There are some, perhaps: but overall, having fewer *better* options is more
beneficial than having more options just to have options.

And you show you have no greater ability to support anything than does RonB.
Both of you are very insecure in your beliefs, hence your trolling.

Linux hasn't managed to succeed in 20 years.
Not much has changed.

As a reminder of what got Tattoo all worked up:
RonB:
-----
I really don't even realize which one I'm using anymore when
I jump from one distribution to another. When it comes down
to it, Linux is Linux -- any distribution
-----
He claims this, which is from RonB *today*, is a "tired old troll"

They're so embarrassed by RonB's admission that choice doesn't really
matter at all to him: "I don't realize which one I'm using anymore when
I jump from one distribution to another."
That's probably worth a thread, since it undermines what the bozos have
been saying for years.

"tired old troll" is you, big buy, when you hit the big 5-0 and found
out you got winded waddling from the living room to the fridge.

All these distros are very, very important - even though at least one
"advocate" cannot tell them apart. Lovely.

he's a clueless idiot that knows jack.
