If you'd look at my GNOME2 desktop you'd probably notice the lack of |
| 17 |
icons on the desktop, applets on the panel, etc.[1] I find these things |
| 18 |
distracting (especially in my work environment). Usually when I install |
| 19 |
GNOME2 the first thing I do is turn most of those things off. |

When GNOME3 came out, I thought they had read my mind. I use extensions |
| 22 |
to get rid of a few more icons on the top panel. I patched so it |
| 23 |
doesn't show the time (if the time is shown on the desktop, I find I'm |
| 24 |
constantly looking at the time which is also distracting (for the same |
| 25 |
reason I don't wear a watch))[2]. So I like to keep things simple, and |
| 26 |
for most-used apps I use keyboard shortcuts. Works for me. |

If you want icons on the desktop, etc. There are extensions and config |
| 29 |
settings to enable that in GNOME3. gnome-tweak-tool is your friend. |

I don't use fallback mode. The gnome-shell is (almost) exactly what I |
| 32 |
want. |
