There does seem to be a lot going on in the first half of next year, very excited about Gnome 3, new AMD, capable netbooks... and of course 11.4

I might switch to XFCE4 once that comes out, not sure though.

Xfce4 has been out for several years. Its up to Xfce 4.6.2 now.

I meant because of GNOME Shell. I know XFCE4 has been out for a while.

I'm eagerly awaiting for the repos for natty to open up. Having tested many previous Ubuntu prereleases and having used maverick from its very first day I'll also switch to natty as soon as the toolchain is up :D

Sorry, forgive me, I'm so used to having people say the whole thing rather than just the first word of release.

I honestly thought it was a tty console update.

Nothing to forgive - I generally forget the names at the beginning anyway.

GNOME 3 SUCKS!
I can't believe that anyone would run it?! If Gnome 2.30 should disappear I'm going over to openbox full time! Keep It Simple Stupid!

Why not do it now? I remember on the Debian forums there was a post about running an openbox setup, it was pretty sweet. No panels, just stalonetray, conky and a few other things.

Are they seriously going to have Gnome Shell as the default environment?

They don't say GNOME Shell, but they describe how GNOME Shell works.

Not sure why folks want to run around saying Gnome 3 sucks ... without adding the necessary for me to it. Sure it is different... sure it is not the Gnome you grew up with... but to be accurate the beauty of Linux is user choice. Exercise yours and let others choose their w/o adding all the negativity to things.

Then again... we always have the command line.

No, it doesn't. I've been using Gnome-shell as my primary desktop for quite a while and it is hands down my favourite interface in many years. Just because you personally don't like it, doesn't mean that it's bad.

Gnome 3 was always going to be a controversial inclusion, but I hope it's one that makes it in.

Shuttleworth has been talking about how Ubuntu will surpass MacOSX in UI and usability, from what I've seen in Gnome shell I believe it has the component ideas to help achieve that goal.

The paradigm shift of moving the desktop away from the old analogy of a desk with files, folders and paper notes to an all encompassing wrap around launcher of applications could take it well past OSX.
It will take the idea of the universal menu bar to it's next logical conclusion...

I think there will be some ambitious UI changes in design too, it really is looking to be a great release, Maverick is fantastic, I really think they're going to surpass themselves with this one.

Can't wait to see it's implementation.

I can see why people are saying they don't like GNOME 3, but I think that it being so different is what's important for Linux/Ubuntu to take the fight to Windows and OS X.

I tried it a few months ago, but is was an early preview version so it was quite buggy. I enjoyed it, and the ideas were sound so I hope that GNOME team can come up with the goods here. 11.04 is looking like a complete shake up for Ubuntu and I cannot wait for it to happen.

GNOME shell is the best UI environment I've ever used from usability and looks perspective.

I'm currently using it at work all the time despite some of the bugginess and missing features. Once you have it running it's without a doubt the most organic task switching feel.

It's just weird seeing all these people in this thread bash it.

I dunno about Gnome 3, I can't get the latest version of gnome shell or any version for that matter to work without seizing up :/ I have a Intel Corporation Mobile GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics card on my system, don't think it likes the way Gnome Shell is trying to use 3D Acceleration. Such a requirement was a bad way for them to go...

Excited about trying btrfs with Ubuntu. Isn't suppose to have "true delete" where you delete files, and it actually removes the actual data instead of just the data's label?
