Also nemo, the nautilus fork of 3.4, because nautilus 3.6 is a very big regression in manys opinion (mine too). Ive had soo many problem with gnome 3 (mainly performance), so i switchesd to lxde. It felt like replacing an intel pentium 4 with a core i7.... now i am using lxde within my gentoo, and cinnamon on my secondary screen (linux mint). I love cinnamon. But it is unusable in my opinion, because it is on top of gnome3. they should make this working standalone! :)) On 10/15/2012 01:26 AM, walt wrote: > I'm back in gnome heaven again, thanks to cinnamon-1.6.1 :) > > First I'd like to thank Canek for his generous help to all of us > here who have been struggling with gnome-shell.
