I hate Gnome

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 :)

    linux motto: if you don’t like it, make it better. The source is right there. I’m working on some stuff to make nautilus UI a lot better right now. I hope when I’m done it’ll come off the list :)

    svn.gnome.org — have fun.

    @sikanrong: Yes I know motto, but there is a problem, the svn repo is too big! ;) It takes too much time to me to fix all of these problems, so I just move to KDE.

    But when new version come out from gnome, I will try it.

    surprisingly i love gnome, i think its a “to each his own” type of thing. I used to be a devout kde guy, but since ubuntu entered my life I got too used to gnome, and now i cant stand kde. Im sure its all opinionated though

    @McKooter: I am more like developer, so I don’t just like gnome, it’s good, but not for me. ;)
