    I use two extensions in gnome I cannot live without. Currently travelling, so I don't know their names by heart. One is for vertical workspaces, the other to visualize CPU/memory/network/disk.

    I've had to use a Macbook for a month now, and let me tell you. The world of "I need some functionality = install third party stuff" is infinitely worse.

    Want to launch custom terminal with global hotkey? => third party app

    Want to manage window layout with keyboard shortcuts? => third party app

    Want to add support for normal keys on an external keyboard? (like, home key not being dead) ? => third party app

    Want better screenshot support? => third party app

    Want to be able to navigate workspaces without waiting 2 second with 120Hz refresh rate monitors (because developers implemented it wrong)? => third party app

    Want an alt+tab functionality that isn't a mix between bugged and useless? => third party app

    The situation of gnome would be a godsent. It's so bad that I don't care about system monitoring or vertical workspaces. But, once I do, those too would be third party apps.

    Gnome devs: you will take what we make and you'll like it!

    Also gnome devs: Apple did nothing wrong

    For me the only shell extension that matters is material-shell which gives me nice window tiling. When it works it works when there’s an update it breaks 90% of the time. I almost always have to do some hacky shit with js to get it working.

    Use KDE, it's stuffed with features to begin with

    I love Gnome and Adwaita, the quick settings are awesome.

    Is there another desktop with nice macOS style animations other than gnome? I mean, for me, Gnome is clearly for people who would choose macOS if no linux was available to them (me included)

    Why are they doing this? Because they want to envolve and don't be stuck with old things. However, if they did the transition in a good way by giving the developers time to adapt, that I don't know

    Extensions are amazing if you need one or two small fwatures but if you mod something too much it will break eventually even if there is no update to the API. This time it's a easy fix again but it's also quite universal breakage sincee they switch from GJS to some more normal JS implementation and that changes some syntax but I expect developers to implement that quickly, maybe most of it could even be done with scripts I guess.

    My extensions work fine on fedora
