Re: Well upgraded and now I wonder

[Wolfgang <wolfgangmob@gmail.com>]

I hated Unity and switched it, also loved that I needed to reinstall LibreOffice, some odd issues with it that carried over form Fedora 14 and trying to install it then, only to find that the dropbox repo hasn't been updated for Fedora 15 so I got to go disable that repo file then try reinstalling.  But now everything is working fine except now I have to launch the alarm clock program on log in so I can wake up to a blaring rooster .mp3 (more effective than any alarm clock thanks to having to get awake enough to unlock the system to stop it).  GNOME 3 currently, I dislike some parts, but not doing much in terms of power user stuff on my systems so it doesn't hinder much.

And Gnome 3? Ugh just freaking ugh. Doesn't 11.04 use the Unity desktop (ugh) that looks alot like Gnome 3 (ugh). Haven't played much with Ubuntu but IIRC Gnome 3 will be integrated into 11.10. I tried using Gnome on my Fedora 15 install but switched back to KDE soon afterward. Not sure what bugs me about it really, maybe it's just too simplistic.

Ok, so I upgraded to Fedora 15, looks great and Gnome 3 has grown on me since I have Ubuntu 11.04 on my MacBook Pro.  Now that combined with my move toward more universally acessable data on my systems after fully using Windows 7 (games) Fedora 14 (programming on desktop) and OS X (laptop uses) at college so now I wonder if anyone knows of anything for effectively playing games on Linux that works well currently that is completely free?  I'm far from nuking my Windows partition as I am required to use Ms Office at college on occasion.
