I fled for GNOME 3 to xfce. I was happy with GNOME 2 (bar a few niggles) - now
I'm migrating to mate, it adds back in some of the useful features that were
dropped by the GNOME 'Developers':

Can you install mononono? Maybe force-install it, then uninstall anything it
conflicts with?
Or just install gentoo :-)
Cheers,

It has been suggested I uninstall Mono. I could do this easily. I choose
not
to. I also choose not to support a Linux Distribution that is careless
enough
to install Mono as the default.
It's a matter of
principles.
If you check, you'll find I'm still listed as being a
"Mono" hater. I'm still
blocked by Miguel on Twitter. I still get hit by
Mono-Trolls on occasion.
None of which has changed my mind. I want
nothing to do with Microsoft
Technology, and won't even install Flip4Mac or
whatever the crappy video
software is on my
MacBook.

I'm using Ubuntu 12.04 and am very happy with it. I have very low spec
hardware, so it automatically used the 2D version of Unity (which doesn't
require hardware acceleration), which works very nicely. If you have low spec
hardware, then I would recommend 12.04 (LTS) over 12.10, as that one is using
the experimental LLVM-pipe for PCs that don't have hardware acceleration.
The esthetics of Unity look different from Gnome 2 at first sight, but
I found that the concepts behind it are similar, so it didn't take long to get
used to. It may be blinged-up, but the fundamentals are not that different. The
things that were changed are the things that never really worked right in Gnome
2. The work-space switching functionality for example now actually lets you find
things if you have a lot of windows open.
I have been using Linux for
more than a dozen years. Originally I used KDE with Mandrake/Mandriva, but
switched to Ubuntu (with Gnome 2) when Mandriva started to go down the drain. At
first I found Gnome 2 to be very unintuitive and difficult to get used to, but
after a few weeks I got to like it. When I first tried Unity I was only doing so
in order to come up with a list of genuine reasons why I didn't like it before
switching to XFCE. It took me about 15 minutes to decide that Unity was a lot
better than Gnome 2 (or XFCE), and I didn't want to go back.

I've been playing with Kali Linux.
Fully Debian compatible, lots of entertainment software (-;
No mono by default.
You can run it live to check it out.
Comes by default with a Gnome variant, but being tightly Debian based you have
lots of options to chose from.
You can even do a network install from a mini.iso and make your own choices if
you find that more appealing, but be warned that process can take some time
depending on your internet speed and the speed of you computer.
