I dont necessarily agree.
- a different clipboard manager (whatever is equal to KDEs)
- blur my shell
- quick settings tweaker probably
- privacy settings (which is only for pipewire apps I guess, so nearly none)
- wiggle
- probably some maximize to workspace
I literally don’t understand how people use Gnome without extensions. We must be built different or I’m slow
I use zero extensions these days. In the beginning I hated it (the Windows UX was heavily burned into my mind) but once the Gnome workflow “clicked” anything else felt super clunky.
Not that there’s anything wrong with extensions. Some of them look great
Same, that video is pretty silly but many extensions are really awesome.
- blur my shell: just make it look beatiful instead of a bit ugly
- appindicators: needes to basic app support
- more quicksettings are always good
- window decorations: why doesnt GNOME have a maximize button, this makes no sense
With those extensions though, GNOME is pretty cool. I prefer KDE a lot, and even though I hope to be able to use workspaces smoothly one day (which is still not easy in KDE I think) I am pretty happy.
But if you think about it, not having workspaces is a total pain.
why doesnt GNOME have a maximize button
Probably because you can double-click the window ‘bar’ to achieve the same.
Interesting. KDE too but you also have a button. Makes more sense to control windows through buttons instead of a button, a doubleclick on a bar and a keystroke (meta)
I can’t use gnome without dash to panel and no overview at login.
I wish there was a setting to show the action bar on all displays in standard gnome (similar to how macOS behaves).
I also use the AppIndicator and KStatusNotifierItem Support plugin as the background process indicator isn’t great from a UX perspective just yet.
Fair point, this is pretty vanilla and fixes the workflow for like, launching 2 programs on the same workspace (how dare you?)
I recommend Runcat, its the only extension I have installed aside from blur my shell (:
Caffeine is why I use Gnome.
