Its mostly fine if you use GNOME on RHEL/CentOS. They're packaged by Red Hat, they accept bug reports about issues and stuff like missing dependencies are worked out pretty quickly. In my experience, Red Hat doesn't do a ton of Desktop testing, they lean on Fedora ironing out all the bugs and lifting the fixes from there. Almost all of my bugs filed against desktop-related issues are either dropped as WONTFIX or are fixed when RHEL bumps their GNOME version to a newer release. For example: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1365967 It's too bad that RH doesn't really have much focus on Desktop/Workstation systems, because an enteprise workstation is actually a useful thing for people who need long term support (1-2 years at least) of a workstation. Ubuntu manages to do it, but unfortunately, most of our engineering software isn't supported on Ubuntu. -- Jonathan Billings <billings at negate.org>
