What Sucks About DEs, pt. I: Ubuntu's GNOME

Linked by Thom Holwerda on Sun 4th Jun 2006 13:01 UTC

I enjoy using many different desktop environments and operating systems. On a day-to-day basis, I use Finder, Explorer, GNOME, and KDE. They all have their good sides, but obviously, they have their fair share of bad sides as well. The next couple of columns will be about the latter. This week, I take a look at whatever bothers me about Ubuntu's GNOME/Linux combination (Dapper, obviously).

with compiz you don't have this issue because all non-minized windows are rendered to offscreen images. So when you switch between virtual desktops it is perfectally smooth.

Although if an application is slow to draw and you restore it, then it can look a bit ugly.
