GNOME3 was recently shipped with major GNU/Linux desktop releases. GNOME3^[1] is an effort to make GNOME desktop environment to be more elegant and easy to use to compete with KDE^[2] and Unity^[3] desktop environments. The changes are good but it is always not immediately embraced by users.

Recently, we noticed a spike on mentby.com‘s stream of popular topics regarding users’ frustrations^[4] about GNOME3. Even Linus Torvalds is not a fan^[5] (yet). Linus is usually used as a metric to measure the desktop’s environment success if he is going to embrace it.

So, the next logical step for these frustrated desktop environment users is to buy a Mac?

Two pillars of the computer industry namely, Steve Jobs and Dennis Ritchie passed away early this month. Steve Jobs^[1] is the co-founder of Apple Computer, founder of NeXT Computer (instrumental to the development of the WWW) and the CEO of Pixar Animation Studios. Dennis Ritchie^[2] is the creator of C language and co-creator of Unix operating system.

At mentby.com‘s stream of popular topics, you’ll see that a lot of engineers paid tribute^[3] to Dennis Ritchie and Steve Jobs got more tribute from technology consumers. Both have passionate followers that led to unnecessary Steve Jobs vs. Dennis Ritchie discussisons^[4][5].
