I can't stand Windows 95 interfaces any longer.

Well, of course that doesn't mean Linus is wrong with his comments on Gnome.

Gnome 3 is great. I'm looking forward to the next release. I used Unity for two days and switched.

I'm certain the Gnome team will get most issues fixed soon, as did the KDE team with their 4.0 version.

Gnome is still heavily backed by Redhat, as Unity is by Ubuntu. And seriously, who do you think will write the better code?

You are using Windows without ever touching the command line, seriously?

Isn't Mint just a fork from Ubuntu with a few extra packages in the repository and a few homebrewn apps?

My guess is, people 'flock' to Mint, because Mint 11 is still on Gnome 2. Last time I checked Mint application version numbers were far behind Ubuntu.

I just want to go back to Debian unstable, but I'm soooo lazy.

you may use sudo -i as well.

Benchmarked:
* Nexuiz
* Open Arena
* Warsow
* World of Padman
* Urban Terror

I'd be interested in Wine performance: Word of Warcraft with OpenGL, borderless window mode in a dual monitor/twinview setup.

Compositing window managers are just a bad idea for anything besides office work:
* problems with gaming, even in fullscreen mode
* problems with hd video playback, tearing
* problems with suspend

First you can't assume something is named as *you* would expect it. More often than not operations are named by people who know what they are doing, but the people using the software only have a faint idea about their task. That's normal: as users search for the best/easiest way to accomplish a task they learn the vocabulary and methods of the specific field, thus becoming specialists themselves. Regarding documentation, take a look at GUI users, they have to read this GUI. It's basically a book, think formulary: You have to read every menu to "know" the software. Users take a spatial approach, remembering places to click on. This explains why nobody wants to use the "new" MS Office, they don't want to memorize the menus again. And to be honest, to really know a GUI you have to click them all and see how these menus and dialogs interact. Anyways, both systems have their strength.

You basically start an X server inside wayland and are done with it.

Actually my provider does: If I'd buy internet, phone and TV these would be three different vlans.

64bit flash beta worked fine, but with all this bugs around and the beta closed.. no more flash for me. Never touching this nspluginwrapper crap again. Guess I just go and build myself an ffmpeg enabled chromium browser to watch youtube..

Not everybody has a boss. Especially in large government organizations it might be difficult to find your boss. If you're a department head, or project lead it's more a question of who is in charge of what.
In a complex organizational structure sub-systems often fight against each other for control of key infrastructure and personnel.

That's not insightful, that's funny.

How do you get these ideas? Firefox has never been as popular as it is now. And except chrome all the alternatives you named have been around for ages. And besides Chrome is just another webkit browser like Safari.
