Well, I’m trying it out and I gotta say… I just don’t care.

I mean, it looks nice, and I guess the extra info is good. On the other hand, I weirdly miss the word in the corner. On the other, other hand, it’s such a small change I can’t imagine getting upset about it if it became the default.

So… Yeah. Whatever’s clever, Gnome team. I’m happy either way.

Haha, more folks should have this attitude.

I agree. I saw someone said something along the lines of “kill it with fire” an all I could thing was that sounds like a lot of effort for a couple dots in a corner.

I’m using it now and I feel the same way. It makes more sense to have a workspace indicator but I’m so used to the activities text at the top left that it just feels weird. I don’t care if they change it it’s just weird not having it after seeing it for 6 years

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
