<p>A number of people, seeing me express frustrations with GNOME 3, are suggesting using a GNOME 2 derivative such as MATE or Debian "Legacy Gnome". The problem is, I don't actually like GNOME 2. I like GNOME 3. I just want GNOME 3 to stop doing actively boneheaded things I can't disable, such as periodically popping up an on-screen keyboard and screwing up all my window positions, or disabling all my extensions every couple months, or making folder searches recursive.</p>
