I have been flip-flopping between so many different setups lately, but I have yet to find the one. I am currently trying Gnome out, and while I don’t think it feels as bad as I was led to believe there are a couple of niggling issues that keep me from committing totally.
GNOME is the death metal of DEs to me in that I respect what they’re doing and see why a lot of people like it, but it doesn’t appeal to me at all.
