Have you tried googling?
There is quite a comprehensive documentation available from Redhat: https://access.redhat.com/docu...
Also, Archlinux has always good wiki articles, and systemd one is here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/ind...
One good introduction is on Linux.com: https://www.linux.com/learn/un...
Actually, line wrapping can be switched from the next menu to the right (where you see the LN xx, COL xx). It is not buried so far (at least in Gedit 3.22)
I'm sorry but no Linux system comes even slightly close to the amount of support you get from Windows, Windows Vista is only now having its free support end, Windows 7 will continue to get updates until 2020 and Windows 8.1 gets patches until 2023...can anybody show me even a single Linux distro that gets free security patches without forcing the user on the upgrade treadmill for this long?
Centos comes to my mind (and of course RHEL). Centos releases are supported for about 10 years, which is about in same level as Windows 7 support.
Centos 5 was released April 2017, and its support is ending 31 March 2017.
There is lots of things systemd does what sysvinit does not. For example:
* whole cgroups stuff
* Make service-private
* Isolating services from network
* making directories read-only or inaccessible for service
* sevice monitoring
* dependency-based service startup
This powerdevil/upower is an example. There is no going back to pm-utils for upower, even though it used to support it. Now, you need either to use systemd or some ConsoleKit2 that would behave in a similar fashion.
How it is systemd's fault if upower decides to drop support to pm-utils? Maybe upower maintainers should be asked why they deprecated pm-utils in favor of systemd?
You know what the problem with that is? Why on earth does KDE even includes power management? And network manager and and and. All those should be just deamons or command line utilities common to all the distros.
Maybe because laptop user expects to be able to change screen brightness and other power management settings & wifi networks using KDE GUI?
Actually this has been taken to account. If your income has changed drastically from last year, you can request your fines to be rated based on your current year income.
What is the problem on Gnome if you have multiple virtual desktops and lots of windows on each of them? Virtual desktops work about just like in Gnome 2, except that they are dynamic by default - they are created when needed and removed when they are empty. And I would say moving windows to different virtual desktops is much easier under Gnome 3 than what it was under Gnome 2.
Under Gnome 2, if you had lots of windows open on one virtual desktop, the task bar was starting to get unusable - it was really hard to find correct window from the full task bar with really small icons. It is much easier under Gnome, when you can see window previews on overvime 2, since so much contribution effort are now given to MATE project for example. I will not be surprised that MATE will overtake Gnome 3 in a few years. I fact, I hope this will be the case, because projects that are unable to understand his users base will see there contribution effort going down over time.ew screen. It will get crowded as well, but not as fast as with Gnome 2.
And how exactly Gnome 3 breaks apps with multiple windows? Multiple terminals? Or Dia? I haven't seen any breakage.
I totally agree. Gnome 3.10 which comes with OpenSUSE 13.1 is good and usable desktop environment. With few extensions it is almost perfect. After using Gnome 3.10 for several months, it is really hard to try to go back to KDE or almost any other system - they feel really restrictive.
What i especially like in Gnome 3 are:
- ALT+TAB which finally works how it should (shows windows from all workspaces and groups windows by applications). All windows from all workspaces must be shown because I have no idea in which workspace the window is what I want to use next. And by grouping windows by applications, it is much quicker to locate the window I really want.
- It is much easier to manage & move applications to other workspaces using mouse compared to for example Gnome 2 or KDE behavior.
- Overview is great way to find "lost" applications with its big previews. And its search is excellent.
- dynamic workspaces are great idea
What I don't like or what needs improvement:
- Access to systray icons and notifications has been quirky. In somewhere around Gnome 3.8 it gained big improvements though.
- Applications view in overview really requires some kind of grouping by application type. There is application folders but I feel it insufficient,
All minimized windows still show up in overview. So either moving mouse cursor to top-left or pressing Super key (Win key), and then clicking them will show them. Minimized windows also show in ALT+TAB or ALT+{key above tab}.
Should not be too hard.
I've tested Gnome 3 on kvm virtual machine. I used Fedora 18, and it did seem to work rather well. Also, I have Ubuntu 12.10 installation with vino enabled, and I connect to it using remmina - and it too works pretty well, even when I connected over DSL line.
Llvmpipe option should just automatically reduce all animation effects to minimum levels and it is all fine even on little bit older hardware too.
There is extension "Activities configurator" which gives you configuration options for the hot corner.

It is wastly different.I've been using Gnome 3 for a quite a while, and it works pretty well for me.
It is easier to write an incorrect program than understand a correct one.
