Red Hat Discontinuing KDE in RHEL and CentOS

Yeah, this definitely has nothing to do with IBM.
Their resources are used on GNOME. -

Their resources are used on GNOME.It makes total sense to me. I've always been a KDE fan, but supporting a barely used (and barely realized it was still there) desktop on their product just wastes money and effort that could be better spent elsewhere. This really seems more like they are just "focusing" better.

Is the default layout GNOME or GNOME Classic?

Plus they are working on improving Wayland which is another reason to support only GNOME.

Yeah, the new GNOME desktop interfaces remind me of interface to Vista way to much. Stop with trying to make the same interface work on a tablet and desktop already.

I don't recall GNOME devs trying to sell that us. But Canonical definitely tried selling that nonsense to us.

Yeah, that's Unity, not Gnome. Gnome 3 is only for the desktop, has nothing to do with tablets or alternative devices.

Am I thinking of Unity doing that horrible left-side bar with favorites and 3-4 clicks to get too anything useful (to me)?

Unity

@black3dynamite Aha! They both did it! Yes, I have a thing about an entire desktop worth of space getting forced down into one little bar, and the menu being at least 2 clicks deeper than it was.

That's a common setup of many desktop environments.

Why is the menu deeper? I don't prefer this setup either, but it's no deeper. It's still a button on the desktop for me.

Because as the admin/geek, everything I want/need to use is a submenu of the all programs menu. Granted I mostly just favorite a terminal emulator and be done with it, but it is much farther to move around and menus for me to get through. Give me Cinnamon with a hotkey set for the menu any day.

As long as the search function works, I usually find what I need by searching for it.

I've not noticed any sub menus. Just one big list.

Yeah me either.
You can always turn on the application menu extension but I literally never click what I want. I hit the Windows button and type and I want. Including files.

Yeah me either.
You can always turn on the application menu extension but I literally never clock what I want. I hit the Windows button and type and I want. Including files.
Yeah, I'm so used to that after years of Windows and Linux, I have no idea what the menus really do any more.
