[lugm.org] Linus Torvalds finds GNOME 3.4 to be a "total user experience design failure"

[selven]

gnome3 definitely has become a major turnoff, i basically stopped using
gnome at all ever since they screwed up with gdm's configuration for login
screen's theme at some point, sincei  felt such a feature should have been
considerred normal and i should be doing any tweaks to do that. I just use
my nix environment remotely now, my mac's front end is fine!
