I used to dislike the whole new "idiom", beit Unity, Gnome3 or whatever. So I stuck to Gnome2 and Awesome, untill last month, when I finally made the switch to Gnome Shell.

After a week or so, it dawned to me, that the way we go to applications and multitask-view on the N900 is very similar to the procedure in Gnome3. You press a "hotspot" once (top-left) and it will bring you to your opened applications, press it twice it'll bring you your applications list.

I suppose Unity also resembles that, but Hildon is part of Gnome, if I'm not mistaken, so it made me wonder to what extent, if any, Hildon influenced or inspired Gnome3.

Anyone else with Gnome3 experience and thoughts on it?

Am tempted to buy the surface pro, stick ubuntu on and put gnome 3 onto it, thats a win right there.

to answer the ques ton

battery life, its terrible, especially with the 720p and up screens. Don't tell me to uninstall things and turn my radios off, because what the hell is the point of having them if i cant use them.

Multitasking is also annoying as **** to get right, even Jolla aren't perfect.
