however many gigabytes a minimal GNOME install is. I shouldn't really

me to leave a distro. Or stop using GNOME, if they are stupid enough
to try to kill it altogether.
See Tom, although you and I are users of Gnome, we are not _users_ of
Gnome, get it?
I'm not sure exactly why, but it's probably because I can compile a
program if I try really, really hard and you can probably do it with you
eyes closed and with hands tied behind your back. This makes us
not-users. We are automatically disqualified. ;-)
Just because every idiot OS in the world needs a stupid click to get
into a window, now Gnome has remove this option from anywhere users
could actually see it. I'm sure this was decided in some focus group or
something like that. Ergo, you must believe it. OK?
