Re: [LINUX_Newbies] Thunderbird profile migration windows to Fedora 20

 

Roy,
I have to take you to task again for unintentional misinformation:

Mint is based on Gnome and that means they must follow Gnome's dictates or adapt and Gnome is frustrating a lot of people these days.


Hopefully you mean that Cinnamon or Mate is based on Gnome since the above statement is just wrong.  Mint is based on the Linux kernel.  However, even the characterization that Cinnamon or Mate is based on Gnome is incorrect.  Cinnamon was branched from Gnome some time back and no longer depends on Gnome (current) as such.  Mate is based on an older version of Gnome.  So saying either Mate or Cinnamon is "based on Gnome" is misleading at best.  Saying either must follow Gnome's dictates is just incorrect.
