Gnome 4 Beta = Going bananas!

Gnome 4 beta is released and made the founder of Linux comment it like this WTFF

Thus, rather than compromise with GNOME 4, developers have doubled-down. While GNOME 3 sought to bridge the gap between desktop and portable devices, GNOME 4 goes one step further - it's meant to power ALL computing devices, even those which don't have a keyboard, mouse or screen. As such, it offers a refreshing break from the rigid, specialized operating systems of the past. Thus, we have one interface which can run anywhere. Think of it as a Swiss Army knife - one device that does everything, none of them well.

This is the clean environment that will meet you:

Although newbies might at first be put off by the seemingly blank GNOME 4 screen, more experienced users should have no trouble learning the simple keystroke combinations that allow one access to thousands of powerful Linux applications. For example, if you want to start Firefox, Chrome, or any other web browser, all you've got to do is hold down the CTRL-ALT-F12-SysReq-Scroll_Lock keys simultaneously while typing "browser", which will pop up a menu displaying all the browsers currently available on your system, inviting you to choose one by hitting ESC and typing the browser's name. If you want to start an editor, just do the same key combination and type "editor." What could be simpler?



Exiting and lots of potential there +1

Ok.

Well, had to google search "wtff urban dictionary", and the first result there was that link. Said it in the search, "figgity <expletive>".

Went into my phone account and turned off the damn web guard thing, and it still won't let me at that link directly. Maybe it takes a while to take effect. :(

I hate this, as I'm sure I'm missing something good. :(

Well you are not missing out on being an April fool :mrgreen: I just loved this approach from Distrowatch. But the seriously good news came from Mandriva:
