Too many forks?Too many forks?Posted Jan 23, 2013 9:39 UTC (Wed) by kugel (subscriber, #70540)In reply to: Too many forks? by proski Parent article: SolusOS: The Consort Desktop Environment
It's more like Cinnamon, a fork of Gnome 3. However, in contrast to Cinnamon it doesn't use Mutter as Window Manager, but it revives Metacity and maintains the classic mode to provide a Gnome 2-like experience.
However I think they should join forces on their Nautilus forks.

It does sound a lot like Cinnamon, though I confess to not knowing the details of the Gnome world.
Are there many functional differences between Mutter and Metacity? I do hope they share lots of code and generally work together; the only way these "we don't like the Gnome 3 interface paradigm" forks are likely to last is if they work together (and I'm glad they both sound like they are keen to ensure they work with upstream libraries etc).
