Description

There are major advantages to migrating DE.

  • Better accessibility support (as mentioned) in T457
  • Wayland support = better performance/security. Gnome-Shell and Wayland are reportedly working in Debian Jessie.
  • Gnome-Shell is the Gnome variant that does not require any GPU acceleration support - essential for VM performance constraints.

port to GNOME-ish applications:

TODO:

  • #gnome
  • auto login
  • disable auto screen lock
  • kdesudo → gksudo
  • disable blank screen
  • disable gnome system sounds?
  • systray settings?
