Dash to Dock is all I need to achieve perfect GNOME experience

Just cosmetic : wobbly windows & spinning cube

Shows my age I guess

I just go in raw dog.

• Awesome Tiles because I find it simpler than other tiling managers
• Caffeine to keep my laptop awake when I need it
• Clipboard Indicator for easy clipboard history access

For anything else I'm fine with Gnome's basic workflow

i have two sides:

• Niri with a bunch of startup scripts and hacks and messy config files
• completely stock Gnome

I use ConnectionManager as a cute part of my "work flow". Sadly this hasn't been maintained very well by the original maintainer, but others have picked up the project and are keeping it patched to keep running. https://github.com/sciancio/connectionmanager2

• Appindicator
• GSConnect
• Bluetooth Battery Meter

I've been using a few more in the last years, but I decided to slim it down recently.

I use

• Vitals
• blur my shell

Blur my shell is make gnome look pretty good IMO.

• Freon
• System-Monitor-Next
• GTile
• Caffeine
• Alphabetical App Grid
• Hide Activities Button
• App indicator

Used to but currently incompatible:

• Workspace wrap around
• NoAnnoyance v2

I like 'Removable Drive Menu': a status menu for accessing and unmounting removable devices.

One of my favourites that I haven't seen mentioned is the Todo.txt extension.

It adds a todo list in the tray synced to a couple of files (that I store in Nextcloud). I add things I need to do to the list, and I also play with the settings so it colours by priority and sorts by priority.

I also use the ntodotxt app on my phone to sync items. The app is fine but I really like the gnome extension, very handy.

• AppIndicator and Kstatusnotifieritem Support
• Auto move Windows
• Maximized By Default Reborn (doesn’t work on some of my apps which open at the start of every session)
• Tiling Assistant

I love Gnome stock but I really think these should be there by default.

I’ve also learned to wait a few months after each new version of Fedora as the extensions always need time to become compatible.

Sometimes I’m intrigued by how much I could recreate what I love in Gnome in KDE.

I use ArcMenu and Dash to Panel

ddtrerm

$ gsettings get org.gnome.shell enabled-extensions 
['[email protected]', '[email protected]', '[email protected]']

I can't believe apps-menu and window-list are not the default behaviors. gtktitlebar is just so I can claw back a few precious pixels of vertical screen space.

• Just Perfection
• Dash to Panel
• ArcMenu
• Blur My Shell
• Unblank Lock Screen
• Media Controls
• Bluetooth Battery Meter
• PiP On Top

Just one: Bing wallpaper

KDE Plasma user of 4 years here, I am currently giving GNOME a try with Fedora Workstation. Reading through here, I'm going to try a few new extensions, thanks a lot :)

My currently used extensions are:

• AATWS (advanced alt-tab window switcher)
• Clipboard Indicator
• Vitals (system resource usage)
• AppIndicator and KStatusNotifierItem Support
• Caffeine
• Launch New Instance
• No overview at start-up
• Places Status Indicator
• Workspace Indicator

There's a feature I'm really missing though. On KDE Plasma 5 the clipboard manager opened a window right below your mouse on pressing Super+V. This window showed all the clipboard entries, was text-searchable and I could navigate and use/enter clipboard entries with my keyboard. Does anybody know of something like this for GNOME?

I have a few that come with the OS (bazzite), and some I added myself which are "dash to dock" and "media controls".
