I love cinnamon. I guess that makes me a classic guy. It’s nice without being too flashy.

Linux desktop main for about a year, and I mostly use it for gaming. Thank you Valve and Wine developers!

Yeah Cinnamon reminds me of the old Gnome 2 days, before it started trying to get all flashy and stuff.

Gnome 3 was a regression of what I still believe is a perfect UX metaphor for computing. Gnome 2 was perfect in every way. I've since gone to Xfce, but it feels like Gnome 3 and beyond is trying to make using Unix fool-proof for a touchscreen paradigm, and you really can't.

You should give people the keys without difficulty, but give them everything they need to not need them. And you're never going to run Gnome on a tablet. There's no point in making everything pronounced, you'll have an input device that's not a finger on a screen. Emulating something else like Windows or macOS doesn't make you seem unique, it makes you seem similar and if the paradigms aren't the same, its confusing. Have some audacity to be different.

It's important to remember Gnome exists because KDE was in a license fiasco of its own making. And we're in a new fiasco with GTK over mismanagement.

Sorry I’m not really familiar with this stuff. Could I run Unreal Tournament in Wine… via a Linux install? I’m stuck with intel MacBook hardware at the moment and really don’t want to go back to dual boot windows.
