From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I made this post because I really like the design of GNOME, and although i'd like customizability, it is mostly enough for my everyday needs. But I want to understand why people may choose other desktop environments..or why you would/would'nt use GNOME.

I don't use it on the desktop, but it's a pretty great interface on the Pinetab 2 I have. It simply behaves very well with touch input. One annoyance I have though is not having a "right click" with the touchpad built into the keyboard case. I need to use two fingers in Gnome. It's not annoying enough to where I absolutely need to change it though.

How is the pinetab 2? I think about picking one up now and again but without pen support I'm really unsure. It would be awesome to use it with a wacom pen but otherwise I don't know what I'd use it for. What do you do with it?
