I hate Gnome

Applications, Linux

I really don’t know why I hate gnome, I just hate it. After moving from Kubuntu to Ubuntu, my productivity have drop dramatically and my computer have become unstable and slow. There is so many little things that I don’t like on gnome, and just 3 things why I like gnome.

First things I like on Gnome:

  • Dropbox works (It requires nautilus)
  • Firefox looks nice without changing theme (on kde with default settings, it looks horrible)
  • Compiz works well

And then the bigger list, why I hate Gnome:

  • Task manager/System managing
  • Its slow (on my computer at least)
  • It is unstable (KDE is stabler.)
  • I don’t like panel system
  • I don’t like nautilus
  • I don’t like “simplicity”
  • I don’t like terminal emulator
  • I don’t like menus. (applications/places/system)
  • I don’t like default colors
  • I want my Amarok in native environment
  • I want konqueror!

Yes, many things aren’t so big and can be fixed, but I like KDE, it works on me better than Gnome. I hate Gnome, but someone else may like it. (?)

So I will install something to my current system, Wmii or KDE. And when next Kubuntu release comes out, I will and download it and install it.

Update: installed kubuntu 8.04 now happy with it :)
