Por que há dias o Mint passou Ubuntu da Distrowatch?

Concordo com todos.

Mas como se comportará o Mint com o Gnome-3? Qual o formato que ele usará?

Uma coisa é certa, enquanto outras distros arriscaram lançamentos com o recém-nascido Gnome-3, o Mint virá com uma versão um pouco mais amadurecida.

Aí é fácil!

That won't be the end of it, however. As the developers of the current "number one" distribution on DistroWatch prepare for a new release in the coming weeks, there will be undoubtedly more excitement. This, in fact, has started already. Last week Clement Lefebvre, the founder and lead developer of Linux Mint, published some information about the upcoming Linux Mint 12, including continued support for GNOME 2: "In Linux Mint 11 we made the decision to keep GNOME 2.32. The traditional GNOME desktop, although it’s not actively developed by the GNOME development team anymore, is still by far the most popular desktop within the Linux community. As other distributions adopted new desktops such as Unity and GNOME 3, many users felt alienated and consequently migrated to Linux Mint. We recorded a 40% increase in a single month." A heavily modified variant of GNOME 3 will also be available: "We developed 'MGSE' (Mint GNOME Shell Extensions), which is a desktop layer on top of GNOME 3 that makes it possible for you to use GNOME 3 in a traditional way. You can disable all components within MGSE to get a pure GNOME 3 experience, or you can enable all of them to get a GNOME 3 desktop that is similar to what you’ve been using before." The first release candidate for Linux Mint 12 should be available as early as Friday.
