GNOME - Future ideas

Submitted by Anonymous George on Fri, 2005-04-15 04:44. GNOME

I've created an article with mockups and ideas for things that I'd like to see GNOME 3.* doing in the future.
The article can be seen here, with more ideas and things available through my blog, such as the Scoop proposal, and a mockup of how to make drag and drop far easier with spatial nautilus.

no.

I've read a lot of comments complaining about how Gnome is slow on their P2 133Mhz laptop with 32K of RAM. Well no kidding it's slow! When you're running a full desktop you expect it to be a little more sluggish than *box window manager!

Well, no shit.
I have a 1GHz processor with 0.5GB of RAM and Gnome 2.6 here and ms windows happens to be FAR, FAR more responsive than Gnome (which I've been using every day for the last several years).

Browsing files in windows is what it is - browsing files. Browsing files with nautilus is like digging through the darkest places of the net. SLOW. Hence, I never use nautilus when organizing files, and good old midnight commander comes to the rescue. Don't get me wrong - I would really love to use nautilus - but it's just impossible.

And no, it's not a configuration problem, since I know my way around Gnome and linux quite well, being a linux programmer and enthusiast for a long time now. Gnome simply is too slow.

But I love it anyway and I really hope that will change.
