MakeUseOf: There's absolutely no denying the fact that there has been a lot of bickering between people about which desktop environment is the best.

Tech Drive-in: "This particular GNOME Shell theme, aptly named as Ice Cream Shell, is inspired from the latest version of Android OS."

Linux User & Developer: "This past year has seen some interesting developments in the Linux desktop arena.

GNOME 3, obviously, has been a big bang. But I would also mention the wide spread of Xfce 4.8, which shipped with openSUSE in March 2011."

OMG Ubuntu:Will 12.04 put an end to the recent criticism of Ubuntu?

Phoronix: GNOME Shell / Mutter no longer requires OpenGL-accelerated hardware drivers. It's possible to run this GNOME3 desktop with a software back-end via Gallium3D's LLVMpipe.

Fedora: As of tomorrow's rawhide [1], gnome-session will no longer treat llvmpipe as an unsupported driver. This means gnome-shell will run even on hardware without a native 3D driver, including virt guests.

Linux-News: "A terminal is at the end of an electric wire, a shell is the home of a turtle, tty is a strange abbreviation and a console is a kind of cabinet.

Well, etymologically speaking, anyway."

Web Upd8: "General tweaks (for both GNOME Shell and Unity)."

Tech Drive-in: "GNOME Shell is at the very beginning of its long treacherous journey."

Justin Stories: "The gnome released the gnome desktop 3.1.91 including the gnome shell 3.1.91. This will eventually become the 3.2 version of the awesome desktop."
