Just kidding, I knew all that. I thought you might know some arcane reason Debian still ships vino.
If you're ever inclined to investigate whether GNOME is still "ruined," Fedora provides a pretty pure experience.
I don't feel like ever putting up with an rpm based distribution ever again. Having made both rpm and deb packages over the years, I am not surprised that the package quality is much higher on deb based systems. The rpm format is simply a bad design in comparison. I gave up on redhat around version 7 due to quality problems (that would be version 7 back before there was a RHEL thing) and have no intension to ever look at it again if possible. I put up with opensuse at work because that's what they standardized on, and the yocto stuff I work on is using rpm but we don't actually really use the packages at all in that case, and it is automated by yocto. I definitely don't need anymore of it. And given all I want a linux desktop to do is display windows, let me minimize, maximize and resize the windows in a normal way, and be able to launch programs by hitting alt+f2 and typing the name, I tend to just stick with xfce which is nice and lightweight. I don't want a file manager of any kind nor do I care to have menus for launching things. :) -- Len Sorensen
