Linux Mint , which is an Ubuntu-based Linux distribution that aims to further simplify Ubuntu , faced a conundrum when it released its previous Linux Mint 11 version. Linux Mint 11 was to be based on Ubuntu 11.04, however that was also the first Ubuntu version to ship with Unity . So Linux Mint could either adopt Unity from Ubuntu 11.04 (on which it is based) or adopt Gnome 3, which was the latest Gnome release, or stick to the old, and soon to be outdated Gnome 2.32. Switching to either Unity or Gnome 3 would be a big shift in the user experience of Linux Mint, and make it difficult for old Linux Mint users to adapt easily. Those familiar Linux Mint will know that it decided to stick with Gnome 2.32 for Linux Mint 11, but that approach could only last so long.

With their 3.0 release Gnome completely changed the way Gnome users could interact with their system in an attempt to simplify computing. For people who are already used to interacting with computers in a certain way though, this meant a huge change in the way Gnome functions. The lack of configurability meant that old Gnome users would have to adapt to the way Gnome 3 works, rather than it adapting to their requirements. While I feel that Gnome 3 is a great shell for users willing to rethink the way they interact with the computer, or those just getting into computers, not everyone can spare the time or go through the effort of readapting to the way their desktop environment works. They have to get work done.Linux Mint 12 to feature extended version of Gnome 3 - Digit
