I've tried to use Gnome and I just don't see why anyone would use it. The user experience feels awkward and outdated. The lack of desktop icons by default and the Activities Overview keep me from recommending this to new users.

Looks great. Will pick this up if I can ever find a 30 series graphics card.

Quoting: zimplex1I really just want that sexy case!

Agreed. I don't get all of these cases with bright LED lights all over them.

Quoting: KithopAny other system builder targeting Windows, sure, nVidia is more popular. But for a Linux-first integrator pushing for openness, it's just odd to me to not even offer the equivalent hardware that doesn't require a binary blob. I'm not even saying not to sell or even default to nVidia if that's what they want, but I suppose there might be a way to sweet talk them into letting you order a GPU-less system and then BYO card.

I tried to talk them into shipping one without the GPU and they said they do not do that.

Going to try and sell the base GPU on Ebay to make a few dollars back.

Replaced my Thelio order with this. Bigger case and open hardware certification is worth the extra $.

AMD hardware is great but their drivers are below average. I wish they could fix their drivers so I could finally move away from NVidia.

Quoting: scaineI might have to give this another shot. Two things put me off last time:

1. The shoe-horning of the letter K into just about everything. On the few occasions Gnome devs do the same with G (e.g. gThumb), it annoys me there too. But in KDE, it's like a game of "every app is a bad pun". Thank goodness for Dolphin. Maybe others will help buck the trend.

2. Dolphin and Kate can't be run as sudo. I get the reasons why they did this, but absolutely screw any DE or app which takes the law into its own hands.

In the grand scheme of things, neither are show stoppers, but there were enough other paper cuts 18 months ago to put me off overall (one of which was that I used an Nvidia GPU). So yeah, ding ding, round 2, hopefully.

But I'll probably try Budgie too which might be a better fit for me.

I don't think they name new applications with a K anymore. The ones that I do have installed on my system I am okay with like Konsole and kRunner.

Executing Dolphin with sudo is not possible due to unfixable security vulnerabilities.

Good enough reason for me

Really liked the changes from Three Kingdoms and I don't know if I can go back to what was in Warhammer II. I will probably wait a year anyways to get this after release because their track record with the first year is pretty poor in my experience.
