Linux creator Linus Torvalds weighed in on the debate over the controversial GNOME 3.0 desktop environment, recommending that someone fork the "unholy mess." Meanwhile, version 4.7 of the rival KDE environment has arrived with new touchscreen and OpenGL 2.0 support, and Netflix is said to be working on a Linux port.
Now Linux creator and kernel overseer Linus Torvalds (pictured), has stepped in to call the "crazy" GNOME 3.0 an "unholy mess," and has recommended a fork of the GNOME Foundation project.
Torvalds does not mince words in his latest GNOME 3.0 comments. After noting the Linux desktop UI layer's widely detailed rendering problems, he heads straight for the heart of the matter: a dumbed down, yet convoluted UI.
