Gnome stands for GNU Network Object Model Environment, and if you take a word GNU it is with hard G that is why G is pronounced withing the GNOME name. Of course you can pronounce however you like it and NOME is also OK :)

Oh that explains it. I didn’t know Gnome is an acronym. Thanks for the info :)

Great video. The older I get the less I care about customizations. I prefer a clean, polished and fully functional environment so I can just use the darn thing. Keep the videos coming LM. Regards.

Yes, sometimes it’s nice to install a polished environment that just works. Thanks for the kind words, much appreciated.

Great video, as always. And nice cats!

I prefer gnome over others. My brain focuses easier on the workload with less stuff around. At most, I add dash to dock on distros that don't already have it enabled by default.

Thank you for this, very informative. I am using the Ubuntu gnome on my main laptop and Linux Mint on another desktop and laptop. I like Mint because I can move menu bar items from the corners to the centre. I need this because I use large screen TVs for a monitor at work and at home.

You’re welcome. Yes, Linux Mint is great.

You left out the "in this video ... like ... subscribe ... until next time I am the linux mench" section. I did miss it.

Is there a light linix mint that I can put onto my harddrive and use its utilities? What do you recommend?

@linuxmench2118

There are four types of Linux Mint. Linux Mint Xfce would be light. Are you lacking RAM? You could also install Linux Mint and download the Awesome Window Manager in the terminal or from the graphical software centre. You might want to watch this video: kzread.info/dash/bejne/g6Ss0LOsn9CacbQ.html

I just can't, I tried...again. vanilla gnome is so restrictive. Even extensions for current gnome don't respect setting and fail to load properly. Two extensions to make quality of life fixes...gnome being gnome.

I understand. I had to stop using Gnome on one computer because it’s too heavy on the old Nvidia card and the computer kept freezing forcing me to do a REISUB.

I use Debian Gnome which is Vanilla Gnome and it's not that bad. It does come with some extensions such as the ones in the video like the Applications and Places menu. As well as the one to put icons on the desktop. You can also add extensions yourself as well like the Arc Menu to give it a more Cinnamon style start menu. I find that KDE uses up more ram than Gnome. Maybe that's because I am using Linux Mint with the KDE desktop which is Ubuntu based.

awesome font, what is it?

@linuxmench2118

Ай бұрын

I don't know. It's the default font that came with Gnome. Strange, Gnome doesn't have a settings menu to change the font. First time I have used a DE without that ability.

@boo_1096

The default GNOME font is called Cantarell. Also, many settings that probably should be in GNOME proper are found in the `gnome-tweaks` package, so if you'd like to change the font, you'll need that. Hope this helps :)
