From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

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

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.

The Tweaks application has a switch to enable maximize buttons on windows https://itsfoss.com/gnome-minimize-button/

Gnome has workspaces. I currently 3 workspaces open. I regularly have four or more open. https://help.gnome.org/users/gnome-help/stable/shell-workspaces.html.en

Yes I meant GNOME is the only one where I could use workspaces easily.
